[Avodah] We Were Like Grasshoppers

[Micha Berger]

Question about "vannehi ve'eineinu kachagavim"... Israel, in particular
the Negev, can get locust swarms that devour everything in sight. In
particular, the four kosher breeds of chagavim. (Did Hashem permit them
so that they may be eaten during food shortages even when not piquach
nefesh?)

So, how does "we looked like locusts" an apt turn of phrase for
defeatests?

Tir'u baTov!
