Joel 2:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Like the noise of chariots - Bochart also remarks: -

"The locusts fly with a great noise, so as to be heard six miles off, and while they are eating the fruits of the earth, the sound of them is like that of a flame driven by the wind."

Ibid., p. 478.

Joel 2:5
