As an eagle stirs up its nest, flutters over its young, spreads abroad its wings, takes them, bears them on its wings:
All Commentaries on Deuteronomy 32:11 Go To Deuteronomy 32
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Shoulders, as (Exodus xix. 4,) upon the wings of eagles. It is said that the eagle hovers over the nest, to encourage her young ones to fly, and when she sees them exhausted, she takes them upon her back. This similitude shows the extreme affection of God towards his people. Hebrew and Chaldean may also be, "as an eagle makes (Calmet; or stirs up) her nest, hatches her young, spreads her wings over them, and bears them upon her wings, so the Lord alone was his leader. "(Haydock)
