Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Chameleon
A chameleon was a species of lizard which has the faculty of changing
the colour of its skin. It is ranked among the unclean animals in Lev.
11:30, where the Hebrew word so translated is coah (R.V., "land
crocodile"). In the same verse the Hebrew tanshemeth , rendered in
Authorized Version "mole," is in Revised Version
"chameleon," which is the correct rendering. This animal is
very common in Egypt and in the Holy Land, especially in the Jordan
valley.
