Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to leap.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for חָרְגֹּל in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific dietary laws and classifications of clean and unclean animals are unique to the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the general term for locust in Greek is ἀκρίς (akris), which is Strong's Greek Number 200. Usage: The term חָרְגֹּל appears in the context of dietary laws in the Old Testament, where it is listed among the clean insects that may be eaten. Context: The Hebrew word חָרְגֹּל (chargol) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Leviticus. It is mentioned in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, where certain insects are deemed clean and permissible to eat. In Leviticus 11:22, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper." The term חָרְגֹּל is traditionally understood to refer to a type of locust, a leaping insect that was considered clean according to Mosaic Law. The precise identification of the species referred to by חָרְגֹּל is uncertain, but it is generally accepted to be a locust or a similar insect known for its leaping ability. The inclusion of such insects in the dietary laws highlights the practical considerations of ancient Israelite life, where locusts were a common and abundant food source.
