Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Caterpillar
In regard to the word "caterpillar…"
The consumer. The word is used in the Old Testament (1 Kings 8:37; 2
Chr. 6:28; Ps. 78:46; Isa. 33:4) as the translation of a word (hasil)
the root of which means "to devour" or "consume,"
and which is used also with reference to the locust in Deut. 28:38. It
may have been a species of locust, or the name of one of the
transformations through which the locust passes, locust-grub. It is also
found (Ps. 105:34; Jer. 51:14, 27; R.V., "cankerworm") as the
rendering of a different Hebrew word, yelek , a word elsewhere rendered
"cankerworm" (q.v.), Joel 1:4; 2:25.
