Psalmen 105:34 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 105:34

He spake, and the locusts came
A great army of them, and covered the land, that it was even darkened by them; and were such as had never been seen before, or ever were since; this is the eighth plague, ( Exodus 10:12-14 ) , with these compare the locusts in ( Revelation 9:3 Revelation 9:4 ) .

And caterpillars, and that without number;
of these no mention is made in Exodus; they seem to be one of the kinds of locusts, or a different word is here used for the same, and so Kimchi interprets it; some render it the white locust; it has its name from licking up the herbs and grass of the field; as the other name for the locust seems to be taken from its great abundance and increase.

Psalmen 105:34 In-Context

32 Hij maakte hun regen tot hagel, vlammig vuur in hun land.

33 En Hij sloeg hun wijnstok en hun vijgeboom, en Hij brak het geboomte hunner landpalen.

34 Hij sprak, en er kwamen sprinkhanen en kevers, en dat zonder getal;

35 Die al het kruid in hun land opaten, ja, aten de vrucht hunner landbouwe op.

36 Hij versloeg ook alle eerstgeborenen in hun land, de eerstelingen al hunner krachten.
