Another argument in favor of the murex (which has not yet been mentioned in this thread) is made by Menachem Epstein PhD. He points out that a ???? ????? ????? is relied upon to identify things (e.g. dead bodies, lost objects). The ??? ???? in E”H 17:74 defines a ???? ????? ????? as something which less than one in a thousand have. Dr. Epstein proceeds with the following argument: “Of the thousands of fish and mollusks that were studied to date, no other fish has been found that can produce the tekhelet color. Seeing that the ability to procure a tekhelet dye from a given fish is an occurrence of one in many thousands, we can consider this property as a ???? ????? ????? that identifies the murex snail as the true hillazon.”
