What does the Bible say about hornet?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible presents the hornet as a vivid sign of God’s sovereign power, used to drive out Israel’s enemies and give His people the land He promised. In Exodus 23:28 and Deuteronomy 7:20, the Lord says He will send the hornet ahead of Israel, causing hostile nations to flee. Joshua 24:12 recalls this deliverance, stressing that Israel did not win the land by its own sword or bow. Whether understood as literal hornets or as a figure for divinely sent terror and affliction, the point is clear: God fulfills His covenant promises by His own mighty hand. His people are therefore called to trust and obey Him, giving Him alone the glory for their deliverance.
