That hovers over its young,
bHe spread His wings and caught them,
He carried them on His pinions.

bAnd there was no foreign god with him.
13 “aHe made him ride on the high places of the earth,
And he ate the produce of the field;
bAnd He made him suck honey from the rock,
And coil from the flinty rock,
14 Curds of cows, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs,
And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats,
aWith the finest of the wheat—
And of the bblood of grapes you drank wine.

and hovers over its young,
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.

no foreign god was with him.
13 He made him ride on the heights of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,
and with oil from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan
and the finest kernels of wheat.
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.

Fluttereth over her young,
Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,
Beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him,
And there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
That he might eat the increase of the fields;
And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,
And oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep,
With fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan,
And goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
And thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

and hovers over her young,
so he spread his wings to take them up
and carried them safely on his pinions.

they followed no foreign gods.

and feast on the crops of the fields.

and olive oil from the stony ground.
14 He fed them yogurt from the herd
and milk from the flock,
together with the fat of lambs.
He gave them choice rams from Bashan, and goats,
together with the choicest wheat.
You drank the finest wine,
made from the juice of grapes.
