This word, in our version of Leviticus 11:30 , answers to the word תנשמת , which Bochart has shown to be the cameleon; but he conjectures, with great propriety, that הלד , translated "weasel," in the preceding verse, is the true word for the mole. The present name for the mole in the east is khuld, which is undeniably the same word as the Hebrew choled. The import of the Hebrew word is, "to creep into," and the same Syriac word implies, "to creep underneath," to creep into by burrowing; which are well known characteristics of the mole.
