Genesis 7:14

Every beast after his kind According to the phrase used in the history of the creation, Genesis 1:21, to intimate, that as many species as were created were now saved. Every fowl and every bird The former word in the original signifies the larger, the latter, the less sort of birds; of every sort The Hebrew is, of every kind of wing, whether feathered, as the wing is in most birds, or skinny, as in bats.
