Arbeh - a kind of locust Explanation: Arbeh is actually a type of locust and the word could have come from "many", as in "rabah". However, there are Biblical scholars who think that the word comes from the root -- aleph, resh, bet -- meaning "devastate". Check out the Hebrew-English Lexicon by Brown, Driver, Briggs |
