fine leather

The Hebrew that is translated as «fine leather» or «badger/porpoise skin» in English is translated in Kutu as ng’hwembe ya mhala or «skins of bushbuck» (for bushbuck, see here ). (Source: Pioneer Bible Translators, project-specific translation notes in Paratext)

In Yao, it is translated as «soft leather of a big sea animal» (source: UBS, project-specific translation notes in Paratext), in Newari as «dolphin skin» (source: Newari Back Translation), in Kupsabiny as «hides of a hippo” (source: Kupsabiny Back Translation), and in Opo as «soft skins” (source: Opo Back Translation).

The English Jewish Orthodox ArtScroll Tanach translation (publ. 2011) transliterates it as tachash-hide. (Source: Zetzsche)
