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