In the Bible, locusts are often associated with devastation and judgment, as they can consume vast amounts of vegetation, leading to famine and hardship. However, they are also mentioned as a source of food.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, locusts were a common and feared natural phenomenon due to their potential to destroy crops. They were seen as instruments of divine judgment, as illustrated in the plagues of Egypt. Locusts were also considered a permissible food according to Levitical law (Leviticus 11:22), and they were consumed by people in the region, including John the Baptist, who is noted for eating locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a locust<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>locusts (4).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 200: ἀκρίς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀκρίς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ίδος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">a locust,</span> particularly that species which especially infests oriental countries, stripping fields and trees.
