The Greek term shares the thematic elements of judgment and destruction associated with its Hebrew counterpart. Usage: The term גּוֹב (gôb) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to locusts, which are insects known for their swarming behavior and capacity to cause significant agricultural damage. Context: The Hebrew word גּוֹב (gôb) appears in the context of locusts, which are often depicted in the Bible as instruments of divine judgment and symbols of devastation. Locusts are mentioned in various passages as part of the plagues that afflicted Egypt, as well as in prophetic literature where they symbolize overwhelming destruction. The locust is a creature that, when in swarms, can strip the land of vegetation, leading to famine and economic hardship. In the ancient Near East, locust plagues were a well-known phenomenon, and their occurrence was often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or a call to repentance.
