‏ Psalms 78:46

gave also Ps 105:34-35; Exod 10:12-15; Joel 1:4-7, Joel 2:25; Amos 7:1-2; Rev 9:2-11

the caterpillar Chosal, from chasal, to consume, eat up, is rendered βρουξοϚ or βρουχος by the LXX, in 2Chr 6:28, and Aquila here, and also the Vulgate in Chron. and Isa 33:4 and Jerome here, bruchus, the chaffer, which every one knows to be a great devourer of the leaves of trees. The Syriac in Joel 1:4; Joel 2:25, renders it tzartzooro, which Michaelis, from the Arabic tzartzar, a cricket, interprets the mole-cricket, which in its grub state is also very destructive to corn, grass, and other vegetables, by cankering the roots on which it feeds.
