Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to devour.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for סָלְעָם in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific classification of locusts in Hebrew does not have a one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament. However, the general term for locust in Greek is ἀκρίς (akris), Strong's Greek Number 200, which is used in the New Testament, such as in Revelation 9:3. Usage: The term סָלְעָם is used in the context of describing a specific type of locust, which is part of the broader category of insects mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Context: The Hebrew word סָלְעָם (sole'am) appears in the context of dietary laws and descriptions of locusts in the Old Testament. Locusts were a significant part of the ecosystem in the ancient Near East and were often mentioned in the context of plagues or as a food source. The term סָלְעָם is specifically identified as a type of locust, which is permissible to eat according to Levitical law. In Leviticus 11:22, the Berean Standard Bible states: "Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper." This indicates that certain locusts, including the סָלְעָם, were considered clean and acceptable for consumption. The locusts were known for their swarming behavior and potential to devastate crops, making them both a symbol of destruction and a resource for sustenance. The precise identification of the סָלְעָם among modern species of locusts is uncertain, but it is recognized as part of the diverse locust species that were familiar to the ancient Israelites.
