Howbeit, some see no cogent reason why we may not expound the word Chasidah properly by the Stork, and yet salve all the former objections, by rendering the word Notsa an Ostrich. There is a necessity that we find the Ostrich in this verse, because (as was said before) the description given in the five following verses, is not applicable to the Stork, but Ostrich; notwithstanding, if while we apply the word Chasidah to the Stork, the word Notsa may serve as well, if not better, to signify the Ostrich. Why may we not (say they) take in both, and so render the Text thus, Who gave wings to the Stork and the Ostrich? and so all difficulties will be removed, and the word Renanim reserved free for the Peacock.
