Bible Comments

Wings, i.e. protection and care, as Deuteronomy 32:11 Psalms 17:8, Psalms 36:7 91:4. An allusion either to hens, which protect and cherish their young ones under their wings; or to the wings of the cherubims, between which God dwelt.

Ruth 2:12

12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
