Psalm 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.

Psalm 105:34 In-Context

32 Er gab ihnen Hagel als Regen, flammendes Feuer in ihrem Lande;
33 und er schlug ihre Weinstöcke und Feigenbäume, und zerbrach die Bäume ihres Landes.
34 Er sprach, und es kamen Heuschrecken und Grillen ohne Zahl;
35 und sie fraßen alles Kraut in ihrem Lande und fraßen die Frucht ihres Bodens.
36 Und er schlug alle Erstgeburt in ihrem Lande, die Erstlinge all ihrer Kraft.
