Comments: Middle East Blind Mole Rat or Palestine Mole Rat (Nannospalax ehrenbergi or Spalax ehrenbergi)

 

Mole — Two Hebrew words are thus rendered, The first, tînshéméth - Strongs: H8580 (Leviticus 11:30), would, according to good authorities, rather signify the chameleon; with the second, haphárperôth - Strongs: H2661 - Strongs: H6512 (Isaiah 2:20), some burrowing animal is undoubtedly intended, The mole of Syria is not the common mole of Europe, Talpa europaea, but a blind mole rat (Spalax typhlus), a blind burrowing rodent.

Verses:

  • Leviticus 11:30
  • Isaiah 2:20
