One-legged angels?

Hi,

"Doubtless, they [the angels envisioned by Yechezkel] had two legs... But perhaps their legs were seen as a single, straight leg in order to state that their legs always sped along in righteousness, justice and fairness, never veering from the command of their Gd."

(Abarbanel to Yechezkel 1:6)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
