Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 32:11

11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest , fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings d, taketh them, beareth them on her wings :

(i. e.) Her young ones in the nest, by a common Metonymy, which she by her cry and motion provoketh to flie by her example.

Or, as on her wings, i. e. gently and tenderly and safely too, as if she carried them not in her claws for fear of hurting them but upon her wings. So it is onely an Ellipsis of the particle as, which is frequent, as hath been shewed. Though some say, the eagle doth usually carry her young ones upon her wings.
