Exegesis
The construct chain gappin arba di-‘of {גַּפִּ֥ין אַרְבַּ֛ע דִּי־ע֖וֹף | gappîn ʾarbǎʿ dî-ʿôp} ‘four wings of a bird’ attaches via the prepositional phrase al-gabbēh gabbah {עַל־גַּבֵּ֣הּ גַּבַּ֑הּ | ʿal-gabbēh gabbah} ‘on its back,’ where the doubled ‘back’ is an emphatic construct.
In context — Daniel 7:6
After this I saw, and behold another, like a leopard , and to it were four wings of a bird upon its back, and the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
