James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Weasel


Subjects in this Topic:

WEASEL (chôled, Lev_11:29).—An ‘unclean’ animal. Since the Heb. root châlad means ‘to dig,’ and the Arab [Note: Arabic.] , khuld is the ‘mole-rat,’ it is practically certain that this latter is the correct translation of chôled. Cf. Mole.
