Exegesis
The second protasis, ve-hên-ʾăṣawwēh {וְהֵן־אֲצַוֶּה | wə-hên-ʾăṣawwēh} ‘and if I command’, uses the Piel imperfect with chagav {חָגָב | ḥāgāv} ‘locust’ and the infinitive ləʾekōl {לֶאֱכֹל | ləʾekōl} ‘to devour’ applied to haʾāreṣ {הָאָרֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} ‘the land’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 7:13
If I restrain the heavens so that there is no rain , and if I command the locust to devour the land, and if I send a plague among My people.
