Pigeon: Pigeons are mentioned as among the offerings which, by divine
appointment, Abram presented unto the Lord
(Genesis 15:9) They were
afterwards enumerated among the sin-offerings
(Leviticus 1:14; 12:6) and the
law provided that those who could not offer a lamb might offer two
young pigeons
(Leviticus 5:7) comp.
(Luke 2:24)
