In the Bible, turtledoves are frequently mentioned in the context of sacrificial offerings, symbolizing humility and devotion. They are also emblematic of love and fidelity, as seen in the poetic imagery of the Song of Solomon.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, turtledoves were common and accessible birds, making them a practical choice for sacrificial offerings, especially for those who could not afford larger animals. The turtledove's gentle nature and monogamous behavior made it a symbol of love and faithfulness. In the sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus, turtledoves were acceptable offerings for purification and atonement, highlighting their role in religious and cultural practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8446.htm">tur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a plait, turn<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ornaments (2), standard (1), turn (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">תּוֺר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">תֹּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>plait, turn</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb106407.gif"> <em>period, succession</em> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">περίοδος</font>));
