Definition for Mouse:

• Heb. ' akhbar, " swift digger"), properly the dormouse, the field-mouse ( 1 Samuel 6:4 ). In Leviticus 11:29 , Isaiah 66:17 this word is used generically, and includes the jerboa ( Mus jaculus), rat, hamster ( Cricetus), which, though declared to be unclean animals, were eaten by the Arabs, and are still eaten by the Bedouins. It is said that no fewer than twenty-three species of this group (' akhbar=Arab. ferah) of animals inhabit Palestine. God " laid waste" the people of Ashdod by the terrible visitation of field-mice, which are like locusts in their destructive effects ( 1 Samuel 6:4 1 Samuel 6:11 1 Samuel 6:18 ). Herodotus, the Greek historian, accounts for the destruction of the army of Sennacherib ( 2 Kings 19:35 ) by saying that in the night thousands of mice invaded the camp and gnawed through the bow-strings, quivers, and shields, and thus left the Assyrians helpless. ( See SENNACHERIB .)
