Leviticus 14:4-7
two birds. or, sparrows.The word {tzippor,} from the Arabic {zaphara,} to fly, is used in the Scriptures to denote birds of every species, particularly small birds. But it is often used in a more restricted sense, as the Hebrew writers assert, to signify the sparrow. Aquinas says the same; and Jerome renders it here the sparrow. So the Greek [strouthia,] in Matthew and Luke, which signifies a sparrow, is rendered by the Syriac translator {tzipparin}, the same as the Hebrew {tzipporim}. Nor is it peculiar to the Hebrews to give the same name to the sparrow and to fowls of the largest size; for Nicander calls the hen [strouthos katoikados,] the domestic sparrow, and both Plautus and Ausonius call the ostrich, {passer marinus,} "the marine sparrow." It is evident, however, that the word in this passage signifies birds in general; for if the sparrow was a clean bird, there was no necessity for commanding a clean one to be taken, since every one of the species was ceremonially clean; but if it was unclean, then it could not be called clean. 1:14; 5:7; 12:8cedar.6,49-52; Nu 19:6scarlet.Heb 9:19hyssop.Ex 12:22; Nu 19:18; Ps 51:7 earthen vessel.50; Nu 5:17; 2Co 4:7; 5:1; 13:4; Heb 2:14 the living bird.Joh 14:19; Ro 4:25; 5:10; Php 2:9-11; Heb 1:3; Re 1:18dip them.51-53; Zec 13:1; Re 1:5 sprinkle.Nu 19:18,19; Isa 52:15; Eze 36:25; Joh 19:34; Heb 9:13,19,21Heb 10:22; 12:24; 1Pe 1:2; 1Jo 5:6seven times.51; 4:6,17; 8:11; 16:14,19; 2Ki 5:10,14; Ps 51:2,7; Eph 5:26,27pronounce.13:13,17let.16:22; Da 9:24; Mic 7:19; Heb 9:26into the open field.
