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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2284.htm">chagab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hagab (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">חָגָּב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>head of a family of returning exiles</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/2-46.htm">Ezra 2:46</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἁγαβ</font> (no "" in <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7.htm">Nehemiah 7</a> H;
