Leather A material made from an animal hide through the process of tanning. Leather was used for a variety of materials mentioned in the Bible, including footwear, clothing, armor, and shield coverings (Gen 3:21; Mark 1:6; King, Life, 163). The tanning process also was applied to the stomachs and bladders of animals to create skeins to hold liquids. Additionally, leather often was used in documentation and writing and thus was the primary medium for scribes, as evidenced in the surviving manuscripts of the ancient world. Many fragments of text from Qumran are written on leather (King, Life, 309).
