Revelation 9:8 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

Hair of women - long and flowing. Sign of a half-civilized race (1 Corinthians 11:14-15). An Arabic proverb compares the antlers of locusts to the hair of girls. Ewald understands the hair on the legs or bodies of the locusts: cf. "rough caterpillars" (Jeremiah 51:27).

As the teeth of lions - (Joel 1:6.)

Revelation 9:8
