Smith's Bible Dictionary
Grasshopper

[LOCUST]

ATS Bible Dictionary
Grasshopper

A kind of locust, and so called in 2 Chronicles 7:13. It was sometimes used for food, Le 11:22. Individually they are insignificant and timid creatures, Numbers 13:33, and their worthlessness furnishes a striking comparison in Isaiah 40:22; while the feebleness of age is expressed by inability to endure them, Ecclesiastes 12:5. Yet coming in great numbers, they are destructive to all herbage, Am 7:1. See LOCUST.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
GRASSHOPPER

gras'-hop-er.

See LOCUST.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Belongs to the class of neuropterous insects called Gryllidae. This insect is not unknown in Palestine.

In Judges 6:5; 7:12; Job 39:30; Jeremiah 46:23, where the Authorized Version has "grasshopper," the Revised Version more correctly renders the Hebrew word (`arbeh) by "locust." This is the case also in Amos 7:1;Nahum 3:17, where the Hebrew word gob is used; and in Leviticus 11:22; Numbers 13:33; Ecclesiastes 12:5; Isaiah 40:22, where hagab is used. In all these instances the proper rendering is probably "locust" (q.v.).

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (n.) Any jumping, orthopterous insect, of the families Acrididae and Locustidae. The species and genera are very numerous. The former family includes the Western grasshopper or locust (Caloptenus spretus), noted for the great extent of its ravages in the region beyond the Mississippi. In the Eastern United States the red-legged (Caloptenus femurrubrum and C. atlanis) are closely related species, but their ravages are less important. They are closely related to the migratory locusts of the Old World. See Locust.

2. (n.) In ordinary square or upright pianos of London make, the escapement lever or jack, so made that it can be taken out and replaced with the key; -- called also the hopper.
