It can refer to the sound of wings, like those of locusts, or the tinkling of cymbals. The term conveys a sense of rapid movement or vibration, often used metaphorically to describe the sound of an approaching army or the noise of instruments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, sounds played a significant role in communication and religious practices. The sound of cymbals, for instance, was integral to worship and celebration, while the buzzing of locusts was a familiar and ominous sound, often associated with destruction and judgment. The auditory imagery evoked by "tslatsal" would have been vivid and immediate to an ancient audience, resonating with both everyday experiences and significant cultural events.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
