Tabernacle & Ark Coverings

15 Tishrei 5765
Question
Why was the Ark and Table of Showbread covered with unclean skins before moving if all was Holy?!
Answer
The Talmud in Shabbat 28a concludes that the "Tachash" - a species with which we are not familiar, is in fact a kosher species. According to one opinion, the Tachash was a species created especially for the purpose of making coverings for the tabernacle, it had a multi-colored skin, and was quite beautiful.
