locusts <01462> [grasshoppers. or, green worms.]

{Aguddah} probably is the same as the Arabic {ijad,} "an arch, vault," and may here denote the vault of heaven, or atmosphere, which God "hath founded, or established, upon, or over, {Æ’l,} the earth," and into which "he calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth."
