Exodus 23:28
hornets <06880> [hornets.]
{TzirÆ’h,} The hornet, may be so called from the Arabic {zaraÆ’,} to lay prostrate, strike down, because of the destruction occasioned by the violence of its sting. The hornet, in natural history, belongs to the species Crabro, of the genus Vespa or Wasp. It is a most voracious insect, and exceedingly strong for its size, which is generally an inch in length.
