- 65 Or “hyraxes.” This is the Syrian Hyrax, also known as the rock badger. , has “conies” (alternately spelled “coneys” by ), a term usually associated with the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) but which can also refer to the pika or the hyrax. Scholars today generally agree that the Hebrew term used here refers to a type of hyrax, a small ungulate mammal of the family Procaviidae native to Africa and the Middle East which has a thick body, short legs and ears and a rudimentary tail. The simple “badger” (so , , ) could lead to confusion with the badger, an entirely unrelated species of burrowing mammal related to weasels. Modern scholars identify this creature with the rock badger (the Syrian hyrax), a small mammal that lives in the crevices of the rock. Its wisdom consists in its ingenuity to find a place of security.
