In the context of the Bible, locusts are often associated with plagues and divine judgment, as they can cause significant destruction to crops and vegetation. The term is used to describe a specific kind of locust, emphasizing its role in the natural and divine order.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, locusts were a common and feared phenomenon due to their potential to devastate agriculture, which was the backbone of the economy and sustenance. The Bible often uses locusts as symbols of judgment and destruction, as seen in the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 10) and the prophetic imagery in Joel. Locust swarms could strip the land bare, leading to famine and economic hardship, thus serving as a powerful metaphor for divine retribution.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cistern, pool<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cistern (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גֶּ֫בֶא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ezekiel 47:11</sup> <font size="+1"><b>cistern, pool</b></font> (compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb014606.gif"> <em>watering-trough</em>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>cistern</em> <font class="hebrew2">מַיִם מִגֶּ֑בֶא</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-14.htm">Isaiah 30:14</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>pool, marsh</em> <font class="hebrew2">גְּבָיָאו</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/47-11.htm">Ezekiel 47:11</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">כִּצּאֹתָ֯ו</font>). <p><font class="hebrew2">גבב</font> (probably <em>be curved, convex, elevated</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">גִּבְּבָא</font> <em>hill;
