Senses in use

  1. Leather material for coverings and sandals · dominant

    The plural absolute form occurs among contributed materials and tent coverings: in Exodus 25:5 the APB renders a list including “tachash skins,” and in Exodus 26:14 it renders an upper covering as “leather skins.” The singular absolute form is used in covering phrases for sacred furnishings in Numbers 4:10 and Numbers 4:14, while in Ezekiel 16:10 the APB renders the clothing image with “leather sandals.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the material as “tachash skins,” “leather skins,” and “leather skin,” and in Ezekiel 16:10 as “leather sandals.” These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token equivalence.
