It would appear the color as the focal point . Blue is not used in Revelation . What ever animal they were unclean animals to represent unbelief. Blue covered the gold to show the temporal. It would be like the Son of man, Jesus that lived in a corruptible body but inwardly gold to represents the unseen faith. The gold as to the hidden glory redeems the blue.
We have the power of gold that works in our earthen bodies of death but it is not of us.

There is this. Perhaps it was goat skins that was being referred to. I agree that Porpoise skins does seem unusual for the region.
Contributions for the Sanctuary
25 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me. 3 And this is the contribution that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, 4 blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, goats' hair, 5 tanned rams' skins, goatskins,[a] acacia wood, 6 oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 7 onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. 8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. 9 Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
Footnote
Uncertain; possibly dolphin skins, or dugong skins; compare 26:14

Those who wholeheartedly support the KJV are fully aware that there are may other languages besides English. The underlying issue is the corrupt Hebrew and Greek *critical texts* which have corrupted modern bible versions.
Therefore the Trinitarian Bible Society (as one example) publishes bibles in many other languages WHICH ARE THE EQUIVALENT of the KJV, since the underlying texts are the traditional Hebrew Masoretic and Greek Received text (know as the Textus Receptus).
"The Trinitarian Bible Society was founded in 1831 with the principal aim of promoting the Glory of God and the Increase of His Kingdom through the circulation of Protestant or uncorrupted versions of the Word of God."

Thank you for providing this background information.
Although I have my own beliefs that might be different from others, I always appreciate the opportunity to learn what others believe, and how or why they came to that conclusion.
I also want to thank both you and @John146 for calmly and rationally answering the questions that were brought up, rather than just criticizing or attacking me for having a different point of view.
God bless.

Well, I disagree that the KJV is uncorrupted. James was corrupt, and his intentions were corrupt, and his method of forcing the Bishop's Bible out was corrupt. So I can hardly see how anything he did was uncorrupted.
So while I believe that the majority of the translator of his version have a good conscience, and did their honest best, the overseers were not and their intentions shine through in the translation errors. One example that stands out is rather than translate they transliterated the word baptize. If they had translated this word then there would be no discussion as to the method of baptism nor the purpose.
However in keeping with the topic of this thread, they translated the word in question as badger from German when they had the Latin Vulgate and could have used the translation from Hebrew to Latin as it was understood and gotten violet as in skins died violet in color. I believe the actual word is hyacinth. Even though this is adiaphora they could have chosen to be at least reasonably accurate rather than outlandish.
If there were a God ordained English translation it most certainly would not be the King James. And I can point out many many reasons from the character of James to the nature an character Christ. But it will not matter to the KJV cultists so why bother?
Oh! to keep them from poisoning the minds of new Christians with their nonsense.

Yes, they were all fallen men. That’s my point. It’s not the penman who matters, but God.
This hatred towards the KJV leads me to believe it’s validity. No book has ever been so beloved, and yet so hated.
I think people dislike others who actually believe they have God’s word. Why should that offend anyone?

As for your assertion for leading the largest revival in history, the Reformation began way before the KJV
Was foisted upon Christianity.
Most of those who don't much care for the KJV, is because how the mistranslations have mislead so many.
It's no mystery that those who love the truth would dislike something that obscures it.
