That which the palmerworm hath left: Heb. The residue of the palmer-worm, Joe 2:25; Amo 4:9; The learned Bochart, and others, are of the opinion that the four Hebrew words, gazam, yelek, arbeh, chasil, respectively rendered the palmer-worm, locust, canker-worm and caterpillar, denote four different species of locusts. See note on Exo 10:4 the locust eaten: Exo 10:12-15; Deu 28:38, Deu 28:42; Kg1 8:37; Ch2 6:28, Ch2 7:13; Psa 78:46, Psa 105:34; Amo 7:1; Rev 9:3-7 the cankerworm eaten: Nah 3:15-17 the caterpillar: Isa 33:4; Jer 51:14, Jer 51:27 Joel 1:5
