BADGER SKINS - B>@ - There is much obscurity as to the meaning of the word tachash , rendered "badger" in the Authorized Version, kjv@Exodus:25:5 kjv@Exodus:35:7) etc. The ancient versions seem nearly all agreed that it denotes not an animal but a color, either black or sky-blue. The badger is not found in the Bible lands. The Arab duchash or tufchash denotes a dolphin, including seals and cetaceans. The skins referred to are probably those of these marine animals, some of which are found in the Red Sea. The skin of the Halicore , one of these, from its hardness would be well suited for making soles for shoes. kjv@Ezekiel:16:10)

Badger @ this word is found in kjv@Exodus:25:5 kjv@Exodus:26:14 kjv@Exodus:35:7 ,23; 36:19; 39:34; kjv@Numbers:4:6, etc. The tabernacle was covered with badgers' skins; the shoes of women were also made of them kjv@Ezekiel:16:10). Our translators seem to have been misled by the similarity in sound of the Hebrew tachash and the Latin taxus, "a badger." The revisers have correctly substituted "seal skins." The Arabs of the Sinaitic peninsula apply the name tucash to the seals and dugongs which are common in the Red Sea, and the skins of which are largely used as leather and for sandals. Though the badger is common in Palestine, and might occur in the wilderness, its small hide would have been useless as a tent covering. The dugong, very plentiful in the shallow waters on the shores of the Red Sea, is a marine animal from 12 to 30 feet long, something between a whale and a seal, never leaving the water, but very easily caught. It grazes on seaweed, and is known by naturalists as Halicore tabernaculi.
