The creature denoted by this Hebrew word so evidently belongs to the class of 'flying creeping things' (), that the grasshopper, according to the common acceptation of the word, can scarcely be the proper translation. Other reasons render it most probable that a species of locust is intended. It is, therefore, referred to the general English word [LOCUST].
