Symbolic Visions of Judgment
7:1The sovereign Lord showed me this: I saw1 him making locusts just as the crops planted late2 were beginning to sprout. (The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest.3)
Footnotes
- 1 Heb “behold” or “look.”
- 2 The crops planted late (consisting of vegetables) were planted in late January-early March and sprouted in conjunction with the spring rains of March–April. For a discussion of the ancient Israelite agricultural calendar, see O. Borowski, Agriculture in Iron Age Israel, 31–44.
- 3 Or “the mowings of the king.” This royal harvest may refer to an initial mowing of crops collected as taxes by the royal authorities.
