'Dove' in the Bible

Then he sent out a dove to see whether the water on the earth’s surface had gone down,

but the dove found no resting place for her foot. She returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole earth. He reached out and brought her into the ark to himself.

So Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove from the ark again.

When the dove came to him at evening, there was a plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the water on the earth’s surface had gone down.

After he had waited another seven days, he sent out the dove, but she did not return to him again.

I said, “If only I had wings like a dove!I would fly away and find rest.

While you lie among the sheepfolds,the wings of a dove are covered with silver,and its feathers with glistening gold.

Do not give the life of Your dove to beasts;do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever.

My dove, in the clefts of the rock,in the crevices of the cliff,let me see your face,let me hear your voice;for your voice is sweet,and your face is lovely.

W I sleep, but my heart is awake.A sound! My love is knocking!M Open to me, my sister, my darling,my dove, my perfect one.For my head is drenched with dew,my hair with droplets of the night.

But my dove, my virtuous one, is unique;she is the favorite of her mother,perfect to the one who gave her birth.Women see her and declare her fortunate;queens and concubines also, and they sing her praises:

I chirp like a swallow or a crane;I moan like a dove.My eyes grow weak looking upward.Lord, I am oppressed; support me.

Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,residents of Moab!Be like a dovethat nests inside the mouth of a cave.

So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove;they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.

As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.

and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven:You are My beloved Son.I take delight in You!

And John testified, “I watched the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He rested on Him.
