Kanaph, “Wing,” Strong’s H3671

February 7, 2021 by Christine Miller Leave a Comment

Rut 2:12 | scripture pictures @ alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that creeps, with which the waters swarmed, with regard to their kinds, and every winged creature with regard to its kind; and God saw that it was good. Gen 1:21

The primitive root.

Strong’s H3671 כנף kanaph, a concrete object meaning “wing;” from Strong’s H3670 כנף kanaph, a primitive root meaning, “to project laterally.”

kaph כ ך = open palm, thus bend, open, allow, tame
nun נ ן = seed, thus continue, heir, son
pey פ ף = mouth, thus open, blow, scatter, edge

The story: The opening of the wing covers (kaph, in the sense of the father’s open palm covering the head of his son when conferring the blessing) the offspring (nun) with open mouths (pey), i.e., baby birds.

The Hebrew Testament Biblical text is from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition posted by Mechon Mamre online. I have aligned the verse and chapter numbers to the KJV. The Greek Testament Biblical text is from the 1769 Authorized King James edition posted by Official King James Bible online.  For both Testaments, I have modernized words, spelling, and grammar. Translation changes to correct anti-Messiah and anti-Torah bias are noted in the text. The linked studies, chiastic structures, and Scripture pictures are my own and are copyright © Christine Miller.
