Strong's Lexicon Chagab: Locust Original Word: חָגָב Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to take refuge Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G200 (ἀκρίς, akris): Refers to a locust or grasshopper, used in the New Testament, notably in Revelation 9:3. Usage: The term "Chagab" refers to a type of locust, a grasshopper-like insect known for its swarming behavior and potential to cause significant agricultural damage. In the Bible, locusts are often associated with divine judgment and plagues, symbolizing destruction and desolation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, locusts were both a natural phenomenon and a symbol of divine intervention. Swarms could devastate crops, leading to famine and economic hardship. The Israelites, like their neighbors, would have been acutely aware of the threat posed by locusts, which is reflected in the biblical narrative as a tool of God's judgment, particularly in the context of the plagues of Egypt.
