American

Were clean according to the Mosaic ritual, and were offered in sacrifice, especially by the poor, Ge 15:9; Le 5:7; 12:6-8; Lu 2:24. Several kinds of doves or pigeons frequented the Holy Land; and the immense flocks of them sometimes witnessed illustrate a passage in Isa 60:8. They are symbols of simplicity, innocence, and fidelity, Ho 7:11; Mt 10:16. The dove was the chosen harbinger of God's returning favor after the flood, Ge 8, and was honored as an emblem of the Holy Spirit, Mt 3:16. See TURTLEDOVE.
