Genesis 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 7:14

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" ^F11, let their wings be what they will; some, as Ainsworth observes, are winged with feathers, others with skin, as bats.
