The Definition of the word Beetle

Beetle

(Heb. hargol, meaning leaper"). Mention of it is made only in" "Lev. 11:22, where it is obvious the word cannot mean properly" the beetle. It denotes some winged creeper with at least four "feet, "which has legs above its feet, to leap withal." The" description plainly points to the locust (q.v.). This has been an article of food from the earliest times in the East to the "present day. The word is rendered "cricket" in the Revised" Version.
