Strong's Lexicon Tachash: Dolphin, porpoise, or fine leather Original Word: תַּחַשׁ Word Origin: The origin of the word "tachash" is uncertain. It is possibly derived from an Egyptian or Akkadian term, or it may refer to a specific animal or type of leather. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for "tachash," as the term is specific to Hebrew and its cultural context. Usage: The term "tachash" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a type of skin or leather used in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The exact nature of "tachash" is debated, with interpretations ranging from a marine animal like a dolphin or porpoise to a land animal, or even a specially treated leather. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, leather was a valuable material used for various purposes, including clothing, tents, and sacred objects. The use of "tachash" skins in the Tabernacle suggests a material of high quality and durability, suitable for the holy and mobile dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The precise identification of "tachash" remains a topic of scholarly debate, reflecting the challenges of translating ancient terms with no direct modern equivalent.
