Psaume 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.

Psaume 105:34 In-Context

32 Il leur donna pour pluie de la grêle, Des flammes de feu dans leur pays.

33 Il frappa leurs vignes et leurs figuiers, Et brisa les arbres de leur contrée.

34 Il dit, et parurent les sauterelles, Des sauterelles sans nombre,

35 Qui dévorèrent toute l'herbe du pays, Qui dévorèrent les fruits de leurs champs.

36 Il frappa tous les premiers-nés dans leur pays, Toutes les prémices de leur force.
