of every sort ] Heb. wing. Literally, “every bird, every wing,” i.e. all sorts of birds. The clause is wanting in the LXX. Some scholars prefer the rendering, “every bird, every winged thing,” so that the phrase should include all winged animals, insects as well as birds.
Notice in this verse the comprehensive description of the animal world; “beast” = wild animals, “cattle” = domestic animals, “creeping things,” “fowls,” “winged things of all sorts,” as in Gen 1:21; Gen 1:24-26.

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.

(14) Every beast.Heb., every living thing (as in Gen. 8:1), but probably we are to supply of the field, and thus it would mean the wild animals.
The cattleBehmh. (See Note on Gen. 1:24.)
Creeping thing.Not specially reptiles, but alt small animals (see ibid.). The last clause literally is, every fowl after its kind, every bird, every wing; whence some understand it as meaning three kinds of winged beings: birds generally, next singing-birds, and lastly, bats, insects, and other such creatures. It more probably means birds of all sorts.
