It is used to denote birds in a general sense, emphasizing their small size and often their chirping or fluttering nature. The term is used in various contexts, from sacrificial laws to poetic imagery, highlighting the commonness and simplicity of these creatures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, birds were a common part of the natural landscape and held various symbolic meanings. Sparrows, in particular, were seen as insignificant due to their abundance and small size. However, they were also part of the sacrificial system, as seen in Levitical laws, where birds could be offered by those who could not afford larger animals. This reflects the accessibility of worship and atonement for all social classes in Israelite society.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6833.htm">tsippor</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bird<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>birds (3), birds' (1).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>bird <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6833.htm">tsippowr</a>;
