Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Ant
The word "ant" (Heb. nemalah, derives from a word meaning
to creep, cut off, destroy), referred to in Prov. 6:6; 30:25, as
distinguished for its prudent habits. Many ants in Palestine feed on
animal substances, but others draw their nourishment partly or
exclusively from vegetables. To the latter class belongs the ant to
which Solomon refers. This ant gathers the seeds in the season of
ripening, and stores them for future use; a habit that has been observed
in ants in Texas, India, and Italy.
