Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
It is thought that “mole” would be a better translation
(Lev. 11:29).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
This occurs only in Leviticus 11:29 as one of the unclean animals. The word is choled, and occurs nowhere else. Gesenius translates it “weasel,” so called from its swift gliding motion, or its gliding into holes. Some, however, judge it to be the mole, the Arabic name of which is chuld, and the Syriac chuldo. This latter interpretation is probably the right one.
Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew Words:
Meaning:
from the same as 2465; a weasel (from its gliding motion)
