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 zum Regen, Feuerflammen in ihrem Lande
33 und schlug ihre Weinstöcke und Feigenbäume und zerbrach die Bäume in ihrem Gebiet.
34 Er sprach: da kamen Heuschrecken und Käfer ohne Zahl.
35 Und sie fraßen alles Gras in ihrem Lande und fraßen die Früchte auf ihrem Felde.
36 Er schlug alle Erstgeburt in Ägypten, alle Erstlinge ihrer Kraft.
