== Badgers in the Bible ==
(According to the [[King James Version]]) the [[tabernacle]] in which [[Ark of the Covenant]] was kept included badger skins in its construction:
<blockquote>
''And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.'' Exodus 36:19, (KJV)
</blockquote>
(Some versions of the Bible (e.g. the NIV) state here that the hides of [[sirenian]]s were used however.)
