כתועפת לשון כפל כמו מגילה עפה כלומר בכפלי כפלים כחו כפול מכח ראם אין דמות וערך לכחו אלא אחז לו הכתוב ראם לפי שהוא בריה גדולה כדי להסביר לעולם כפי מדעם. כתועפות, like the lofty horns;” the construction of this word implies that there is more than one of these horns. Our author cites Zecharyah 5,2 as a parallel, מגלה עפה, “a flying scroll.” The horns of the Reem, are twice as strong as ordinary horns. Although there is no known animal nowadays that is called Reem, the Torah uses the mythical animal as an example of this creature possessing strong horns. People in Moses’ time were still familiar with that species.
