Chamois
Chamois. The KJV has “chamois” for the goat or antelope of (Deuteronomy 14:5). The chamois (“goat antelope”) of Europe never lived in Palestine. Since the Hebrews were allowed to eat this animal, it must have been very familiar in their country. It may have been a wild goat (ibex?) or a type of wild mountain sheep. Also see Sheep.
