However, the general term for locust in Greek is ἀκρίς (akris), Strong's Greek #200.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chargol" refers to a type of locust, a grasshopper-like insect known for its swarming behavior and potential to cause significant agricultural damage. In the context of the Bible, locusts are often associated with plagues and divine judgment, as well as being considered a permissible food according to Levitical law.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, locusts were both a natural phenomenon and a symbol of divine intervention. Swarms could devastate crops, leading to famine and economic hardship. However, locusts were also a source of sustenance, as they were one of the few insects deemed clean and edible under Mosaic Law. The ability to consume locusts provided a critical food source during times of scarcity.<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 kind of) locust<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cricket (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">חַרְגֹּל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a kind of locust</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
