The mole is referenced in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Leviticus and the book of Isaiah, where it is associated with practices and creatures that are considered unclean or detestable.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/leviticus/11-29.htm">Leviticus 11:29-30</a> :</b> "Of the creatures that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the mole rat, the mouse, any kind of great lizard, the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon." In this passage, the mole rat is listed among the creatures that are deemed unclean for the Israelites. The context of <a href="/bsb/leviticus/11.htm">Leviticus 11</a> is the dietary laws given to the Israelites, which distinguish between clean and unclean animals. The mole rat, along with other small creatures that move along the ground, is considered unclean and not to be consumed.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/isaiah/2-20.htm">Isaiah 2:20</a> :</b> "In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold, which they made to worship." This verse is part of a prophetic passage in which Isaiah speaks of a future time when people will abandon their idols. The mention of moles and bats symbolizes the worthlessness and disgrace of these idols, as they are cast into places associated with darkness and uncleanness. The imagery suggests that the idols, once revered, will be discarded into the depths of the earth, where moles dwell, highlighting the futility of idol worship.<br><br><b>Cultural and Symbolic Significance:</b><br><br>In biblical times, the mole, along with other creatures that burrow or dwell in the earth, was often seen as a symbol of uncleanness due to its subterranean lifestyle. The association with darkness and hiddenness contributed to its negative connotations. The mole's inclusion in the list of unclean animals in Leviticus underscores the importance of ritual purity and the distinctiveness of the Israelite community in their dietary practices.<br><br>The reference in Isaiah to casting idols to the moles further emphasizes the theme of divine judgment against idolatry. The act of discarding idols to creatures like moles signifies a rejection of false gods and a return to the worship of the one true God. This imagery serves as a powerful reminder of the transient nature of material wealth and the ultimate sovereignty of God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The biblical references to moles highlight the broader theological themes of purity, idolatry, and the call to holiness. The dietary laws in Leviticus reflect God's covenant with Israel, setting them apart as a holy nation. The rejection of idols in Isaiah points to the futility of placing trust in anything other than God. These themes resonate throughout Scripture, calling believers to live lives that honor God and reject the spiritual darkness symbolized by creatures like the mole.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mole</span><p><ol> <li><i>Tinshemeth.</i> (<a href="/leviticus/11-30.htm">Leviticus 11:30</a>) It is probable that the animals mentioned with the <i>tinshemeth</i> in the above passage denote different kinds of lizards; perhaps, therefore, the chameleon is the animal intended.</li> <li><i>Chephor peroth</i> is rendered "moles" in (<a href="/isaiah/2-20.htm">Isaiah 2:20</a>) (The word means burrowers, hole-diggers, and may designate any of the small animals, as rats and weasels, which burrow among ruins. Many scholars, according to McClintock and Strong's "Cyclopedia," consider that the Greek <i>aspalax</i> is the animal intended by both the words translated mole. It is not the European mole, but is a kind of blind mole-rat, from 8 to 12 inches long, feeding on vegetables, and burrowing like a mole, but on a larger scale. It is very common in Russia, and Hasselquiest says it is abundant on the plains of Sharon in Palestine. --ED.)</li> </ol><a name="saa" id="saa"></a><div class="vheading2">Scripture Alphabet Of Animals</div><span class="encheading">Mole</span><p>I remember but two places in the Bible where this animal is mentioned. One is in Leviticus, where it is named among the unclean animals which the Israelites were forbidden to eat; and the other is this verse in the second chapter of Isaiah<a href="/context/isaiah/2.htm">Isaiah 2</a>: <i>"In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats."</i> Have you read about the first missionaries who went to the Sandwich Islands? And do you remember that although the people had always been worshippers of idols, they had cast them all away just before the missionaries came? That was a very wonderful thing to happen; and it seems as though God was making these poor people ready to hear about the Savior, when the missionaries should come. Well, this verse in Isaiah declares that the same thing will happen by and by over the whole earth. You know that there are now millions and millions of poor heathen who worship nothing but images of gold, or brass, or stone; but the day is coming when not an idol shall be seen, and no being shall be worshipped but the true God. The mole lives under ground, and the bat in gloomy, dark caves where nobody thinks of going; so when it is said that the idols shall be <i>"Cast to the moles and to the bats,"</i> it means that they shall be thrown away in dark and neglected places, just as we throw away old shoes, or any thing that we care nothing about. Will you try to remember this verse about the idols? Perhaps you may live to see the near approach of that day.</p><p>The mole is a very curious animal in its appearance and in its manner of living. It is almost always under ground, and we should think that the little creature could not be very happy; but its skin is as smooth and handsome as that of any animal, and it seems very well contented with its dark home. God made it to live there, and he has given it just such a body at it needs. It is covered with fine, short, silky hair, almost like soft velvet, so that the earth does not stick to it; and its legs are very short, so as not to be in the way. If its legs were long it could not get through the ground very well, you know. Its eyes are very small, because it does not need to see much, and they are almost buried too under its soft fur, which keeps out all the dust and dirt. The opening of the ear is covered in the same way, so that nothing can hurt it.</p><p>Its fore-paws are made broad like a shovel, and are very strong; each one, too, has five short fingers with which the earth can be removed. The nose is sharp and bony, and this helps the mole to work its way through the earth. They throw up the earth when they make their houses under ground, and in this way mole-hills are made. They like to work at morning and evening, and also after a shower, when the earth is damp and soft, and easily moved.</p><p>The mole is larger than a mouse, but not as large as a rat. It eats insects and worms, and sometimes the roots of plants.</p> <a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mole</span><p>A small animal, which burrows obscurely in the ground, <a href="/isaiah/2-20.htm">Isaiah 2:20</a>.

The true mole belongs to the Insectivora, and feeds on earth-worms and insect larvae, but in making its tunnels and nests, it incidentally injures gardens and lawns. The mole-rat belongs to the Rodentia, and has teeth of the same general type as those of a rat or squirrel, large, chisel-shaped incisors behind which is a large vacant space, no canines, and praemolars and molars with grinding surfaces. It is larger than the mole, but of the same color, and, like the mole, is blind. It makes tunnels much like those of the mole. It is herbivorous and has been observed to seize growing plants and draw them down into its hole. In one of its burrows a central chamber has been found filled with entire plants of the chummuc or chick-pea, and two side chambers containing pods plucked from the plants in the central chamber. While the mole digs with its powerful and peculiarly shaped front feet, the mole-rat digs with its nose, its feet being normal in shape.<br><br>See <a href="../l/lizard.htm">LIZARD</a>.<br><br>Alfred Ely Day<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3468.htm"><span class="l">3468. molops -- a bruise</span></a> <br><b>...</b> stripe, wound.
