A kind of locust, and so called in 2 Chronicles 7:13 . It was sometimes used for food, Leviticus 11:22 . Individually they are insignificant and timid creatures, Numbers 13:33 , and their worthlessness furnishes a striking comparison in Isaiah 40:22; while the feebleness of age is expressed by inability to endure them, Ecclesiastes 12:5 . Yet coming in great numbers, they are destructive to all herbage, Amos 7:1 . See LOCUST .
