| Bible | 1: 1. Tinshemeth. (Leviticus 11:30) It is probable that the animals mentioned with the tinshemeth in the above passage denote different kinds of lizards; perhaps, therefore, the chameleon is the animal intended. 2. Chephor peroth is rendered "moles" in (Isaiah 2:20) (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 aspalax 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.). (references) | 2: Mole Heb. tinshameth (Lev. 11:30), probably signifies some species of lizard (rendered in R.V., "chameleon"). In Lev. 11:18, Deut. 14:16, it is rendered, in Authorized Version, "swan" (R.V., "horned owl"). The Heb. holed (Lev. 11:29), rendered "weasel," was probably the mole-rat. The true mole (Talpa Europoea) is not found in Palestine. The mole-rat (Spalax typhlus) "is twice the size of our mole, with no external eyes, and with only faint traces within of the rudimentary organ; no apparent ears, but, like the mole, with great internal organs of hearing; a strong, bare snout, and with large gnawing teeth; its colour a pale slate; its feet short, and provided with strong nails; its tail only rudimentary." In Isa. 2:20, this word is the rendering of two words _haphar peroth_, which are rendered by Gesenius "into the digging of rats", i.e., rats' holes. But these two Hebrew words ought probably to be combined into one (lahporperoth) and translated "to the moles", i.e., the rat-moles. This animal "lives in underground communities, making large subterranean chambers for its young and for storehouses, with many runs connected with them, and is decidedly partial to the loose debris among ruins and stone-heaps, where it can form its chambers with least trouble."

| Meteorology & Standards | The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0, 012 kg of carbon 12.

| Mining | 1: A. A massive, solid-fill near-shore structure of earth, masonry, or large stone that may serve as either a breakwater or a pier b. An egg-shaped device pulled behind the tooth of a subsoil plow to open drainage passages. Also called mole ball c. Weight in grams of a compound in terms of its molecular weigh. (references) | 2: The fundamental unit of mass of a substance. A mole of any substance is the number of grams or pounds indicated by its molecular weight. For example, water has a molecular weight of approximately 18. Therefore, a gram-mole of water is 18 grams of water; a poundmole or water is 18 pounds of water. See molecular weight. (references) | |
| Physics | 1: The amount of given substance such that the mass in grams is equal to its [atomic weight, molecular weight, mass number]. The number of particles in a mole of a substance is Avogadro's Number N = 6.02497 x 10^23. For instance, one mole of water weighs 18 grams, since water is H2O, the H's weigh one apiece, and the O weighs 16. Heavy water, or D2O, weighs 20 grams/mole, because each D weighs 2 instead of 1. (references) | 2: Unit of amount of substance. 1. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12; its symbol is "mol." 2. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles. (references) | |
