The Lord brought an east-wind— The word קדים chedim, in the original, certainly signifies the east-wind; and, therefore, we have no need to be solicitous, with many, concerning the meaning of the word νοτος, which the LXX here use, and which is generally thought to mean the south-wind. The Vulgate and Houbigant have it, a burning wind. Bochart conceives it to have been the south-wind, properly so called, which carried the locusts into Egypt from AEthiopia; where, as this very learned writer shews, they abound more than in any other country of the world; especially in the spring. This miracle, most probably, consisted, not in God's creating any new swarms of locusts; but in bringing and driving them away at the instance of Moses, according to his Sovereign will. Caterpillars, as the Psalmist informs us, were mixed with these locusts, Psalms 78:46; Psalms 105:34-35. The army of Antichrist is resembled to this plague, Revelation 5:7.
