Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the word תַּחַשׁ is uncertain. It is possibly derived from an Egyptian word or may be related to an Arabic term for a type of animal. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5191: ὑποδέω (hupodeō) • to bind under one's feet, to put on shoes or sandals. • G5192: ὑπόδημα (hupodēma) • a sandal or shoe, often made of leather. These Greek terms relate to the concept of footwear, which may have been made from similar durable materials as the תַּחַשׁ skins, highlighting the practical use of animal hides in ancient times. Usage: The word תַּחַשׁ is used in the context of the materials required for the construction of the Tabernacle, specifically referring to the skins used as coverings. It appears in several passages in the Old Testament, including Exodus 25:5, Exodus 26:14, and Numbers 4:6. Context: The term תַּחַשׁ is mentioned in the context of the construction of the Tabernacle, where it refers to the skins used as a protective covering. The exact identity of the תַּחַשׁ animal is debated among scholars. Some suggest it may have been a type of antelope or a marine animal like a dolphin or porpoise, given the waterproof nature of the skins. The תַּחַשׁ skins were valued for their durability and were used as an outer covering for the Tabernacle, providing protection from the elements. The Berean Standard Bible translates this term as "fine leather" in passages such as Exodus 25:5: "ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood."
