Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

I. חָגָב noun masculine^{Ecclesiastes 12:5} locust, grasshopper (Late Hebrew id.; compare ᵑ7), probably a non-flying species, see Kn in Di^{Leviticus 11:22}; הֶחָגָב allowed as food Leviticus 11:22 (P; "" אַרְבֶּה, סָלְעָם, חַרְגֹּל), כַּחֲגָבִיס Numbers 13:33 (J E; simile of insignificance), so Isaiah 40:22; as agent of Yahweh's wrath חָגָב לֶאֱכוֺל חארץ 2 Chronicles 7:13; וְיִסְתַּבֵּלהֶחָגָב Ecclesiastes 12:5 and the grasshopper shall be a burden; better shall drag itself along, De Hi Now RVm; De thinks ׳ח here figurative of the back part of the pelvic cavity (Arabic

is point of hip-bone, Bo, compare Lane), and refers to stiffness of aged joints, so Now; but the meaning is dubious; see other views of Comm.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חָגָב m.

(1) a locust, winged and edible (Leviticus 11:22), said to be so called because it covers the ground, Numbers 13:33; Isaiah 40:22; Ecclesiastes 12:5. [“Another etymology is proposed by Credner, on Joel page 309. The Samar. in Lev. loc. cit. has חרגבה which may signify a leaper, compare Arab. حرجل; and from חרגב then might come the triliteral חָגָב; comp. حرجل, חָגַל.”]

(2) [Hagab], pr.n. m., Ezra 2:46.
