Amos 7:1

7:1

showed <07200> [shewed.]

making <03335> [he.]

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

{Govai,} in Arabic {gabee,} "locusts," probably in their caterpillar state, in which they are most destructive. This is supposed to have been an emblem of the first invasion of the Assyrians.

harvest <01488> [mowings.]

Or rather, feedings or grazings, as the people of the East make no hay. This was probably in the month of March, which is the only time of the year that the Arabs to this day feed their horses with grass.
