Curious

And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of ram's skins dyed red, and a covering above of badger's skins.  Exodus 26:14.

The Hebrew word used here for badger is Tachash.  It is used fourteen times in the Old Testament.  It refers to: a kind of leather, skin, or animal hide, perhaps the animal yielding the skin, perhaps the badger or dugong, dolphin, or sheep.
I really don't know what the significance of that is, and I'm not in the least bit curious.
