Comments: Anacridium aegyptium (Egyptian Locust) is one of the largest European grasshoppers. This quite common species is present in most of Europe, in the 'Afro-tropical ecozone', in eastern Palearctic ecozone, in the Near East and in North Africa

 

Grasshopper, is probably the best rendering for the Hebrew, hãgãb - Strongs: H2284 [Lev.11:22; Num. 13:33; Isaiah 40:22; Eccles. 12:5, etc.], as in the A.V., if the Hebrew word be interpreted "hopper" as Karl August Credner suggests; the D.V. uses the word locust. The grasshopper is one of the smaller species of the locust tribe.

Verses:

  • Leviticus 11:22
  • Numbers 13:33
  • 2 Chronicles 7:13
  • Ecclesiastes 12:5
  • Isaiah 40:22
