Pigeon
Easton, 1897
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; Leviticus 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). (See DOVE.)
