Strong's Lexicon tor: Dove, Turtledove Original Word: תּוֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be clean or pure Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4058 (περιστερά, peristera): Dove - Strong's Greek 5167 (τρυγών, trugon): Turtledove Usage: The Hebrew word "tor" refers to a turtledove, a bird often associated with purity, innocence, and peace. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
