Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof.--Before placing it on the altar fire the priest made an incision in the wings, without, however, separating them wholly from the body, thus corresponding in some degree to the limbing of the quadruped.
