* a covering.

 * rams' skins dyed red.
   {Oroth ailim meoddamim,} literally, the skins of red rams.
   It is a fact, attested by many respectable travellers, that
   in the Levant, sheep are often met with having red or violet
   coloured fleeces.  Almost all ancient writers speak of the
   same thing.

  25:5  35:7,23  39:34  Nu 4:10  Eze 16:10 
 * badgers' skins.
   {Oroth techashim,} which nearly all the ancient versions have
   taken to be the name of a colour, though they differ very
   much with regard to the particular colour intended: the LXX.,
   Vulgate, and Coptic, have skins dyed of a violet colour; the
   Syriac, azure; and the Arabic, black; and Bochart contends
   for the hysginus, a very deep blue.  It may, however, denote
   an animal; for Dr. Geddes remarks, had the sacred writer
   meant to express only a variety of colour, he would hardly
   have repeated {┴oth,} skins, after {meoddamim,} red, in ch.
   25:5.
