Comments: Bruchus brachialis

 

Bruchus — Though it occurs once (Leviticus 11:22) as an equivalent for Hebrew, 'ârbéh - Strongs: H697 (probably Locusta migratoria), the word bruchus is the regular interpretation for יֶלֶק yéléq - Strongs: H3218, "licker". The biblical bruchus may be fairly identified with the beetle, or some insect akin to it. Anyway, the yéléq of Jer. 51:14, 27, should have been rendered in the same manner as everywhere else.

Verses:

  • Leviticus 11:22
  • Psalms 105:34
  • Joel 1:4
  • Joel 2:25
  • Nahum 3:15
  • Nahum 3:16
