skin, hide skin of an animal, normally including attached hair and sometimes tanned In a number of languages it is important to distinguish clearly between tanned and untanned skins or hides. Furthermore, one must often make a distinction between a skin which still has the hair on it and that which does not. In HEB 11:37 the likelihood is that these skins were tanned and still retained the hair as extra protection.
