Genesis 7:14

Ver. 14. They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind,.... They, Noah and his family, went into the ark; as did all sorts of beasts and cattle, reckoned one hundred and thirty sorts, by some one hundred and fifty, including serpents:

and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind; supposed to be scarce thirty sorts; not one sort of creature was left out, though ever so small, and despicable:

every fowl after his kind; Bishop Wilkins has divided them into nine sorts, and reckons them up to be one hundred and ninety five in the whole;

every [bird of] every sort, or "bird of every wing" {k}, let their wings be what they will; some, as Ainsworth observes, are winged with feathers, others with skin, as bats.

{k} Pnk lk rwpu lk "omnes aves cujuscunque alae", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Schmidt.
