The hornets in the land of Canaan are quite large; they sting fiercely when provoked. But it is uncertain whether the word "hornet," as used here, refers to an actual hornet, or is symbolic for panic or terror. Perhaps it is both!

The focus of these verses is that God drove out the inhabitants. The nation of Israel was too weak to do it!

See: Israel's Conquest of Canaan.

If these verses refer to an actual increase in numbers of hornets, it would belong to the category: Ecological Problems.

All of the references to hornets are listed below.
