In the King James Version, for example, the phrase ’ oµr tahasï is translated “badgers’ skins”; but the same phrase has been variously rendered as “porpoise skins” (New American Standard Bible), “goatskins” (Revised Standard Version), “fine leather” (New Jerusalem Bible), and “dugong-hides” (Revised English Bible; a dugong is a sea cow).
