They were distinguished by a peculiar dress; and if any person approached, they were bound to give him warning, by crying out, Unclean! unclean! out of Lev 13:46 be healed Exod 15:26; 2Kgs 5:3, 2Kgs 5:7-8, 2Kgs 5:14; Job 5:18; Matt 10:8, Matt 11:5; Luke 4:27, Luke 7:22; Luke 17:15, Luke 17:16-19; 1Cor 6:9-11 two birds or, sparrows, The word tzippor, from the Arabic zaphara, to fly, is used in the Scriptures to denote birds of every species, particularly small birds. But it is often used in a more restricted sense, as the Hebrew writers assert, to signify the sparrow. Aquinas says the same; and Jerome renders it here the sparrow. So the Greek στρουθια, in Matthew and Luke, which signifies a sparrow, is rendered by the Syriac translator tzipparin, the same as the Hebrew tzipporim. Nor is it peculiar to the Hebrews to give the same name to the sparrow and to fowls of the largest size; for Nicander calls the hen στρουθος κατοικαδος, the domestic sparrow, and both Plautus and Ausonius call the ostrich, passer marinus, "the marine sparrow." It is evident, however, that the word in this passage signifies birds in general; for if the sparrow was a clean bird, there was no necessity for commanding a clean one to be taken, since every one of the species was ceremonially clean; but if it was unclean, then it could not be called clean.

All children are unclean till they are admitted among grown-up persons (which happens with the males through the various ceremonies attending circumcision); all lying-in women are unclean for the first month; all men who have lost their wives, for a fortnight, and all widows for a month; a mother who has lost a child, for two days; all persons who have been present at a death, the men returning from a battle, etc. No one may have intercourse with such an unclean person, till he has washed himself, rubbed his body with fresh paint, and rinsed his mouth with milk. But he must not do this till after the lapse of a certain time, fixed by general consent for each particular case, and during this time he must wholly refrain from washing, painting, or drinking milk." eighth day Lev 14:23, Lev 9:1, Lev 15:13-14 take Matt 8:4; Mark 1:44; Luke 5:14 he lambs Lev 1:10; John 1:29; 1Pet 1:19 ewe lamb Lev 4:32; Num 6:14 of the first year Heb. the daughter of her year three tenth Lev 23:13; Exod 29:40; Num 15:9, Num 28:20 a meat offering Lev 2:1; Num 15:4-15; John 6:33, John 6:51 log of oil Lev 14:12, Lev 14:15, Lev 14:21, Lev 14:24 Lev 8:3; Exod 29:1-4; Num 8:6-11, Num 8:21; Eph 5:26-27; Jude 1:24 trespass Lev 5:2-3, Lev 5:6-7, Lev 5:18-19, Lev 6:6-7; Isa 53:10 wave them Lev 8:27-29; Exod 29:24 in the place Lev 1:5, Lev 1:11, Lev 4:4, Lev 4:24; Exod 29:11 as the sin Lev 7:7, Lev 10:17 it is most holy Lev 2:3, Lev 7:6, Lev 21:22 Lev 8:23-24; Exod 29:20; Isa 1:5; Rom 6:13, Rom 6:19, Rom 12:1; 1Cor 6:20; 2Cor 7:1; Phil 1:20; 1Pet 1:14-15, 1Pet 2:5, 1Pet 2:9-10; Rev 1:5-6 Ps 45:7; John 3:34; 1John 2:20 Lev 4:6, Lev 4:17; Luke 17:18; 1Cor 10:31 Lev 14:14, Lev 8:30; Exod 29:20-21; Ezek 36:27; John 1:16; Titus 3:3-6; 1Pet 1:2 the remnant Lev 8:12; Exod 29:7; 2Cor 1:21-22; Eph 1:17-18 make an atonement Lev 4:26, Lev 4:31, Lev 5:16 Lev 14:12, Lev 5:1, Lev 5:6, Lev 12:6-8; Rom 8:3; 2Cor 5:21 Lev 14:10; Eph 5:2 poor Lev 1:14, Lev 5:7, Lev 12:8; 1Sam 2:8; Job 34:19; Prov 17:5, Prov 22:2; Luke 6:20, Luke 21:2-4; 2Cor 8:9, 2Cor 8:12; Jas 2:5-6 cannot Heb. his hand reach not one lamb Lev 14:10 to be waved Heb. for a waving two turtle doves Tor, the turtle or ring-dove, so called by an onomatopœia from its cooing, as in Greek τρυγων, Latin, turtur and English, turtle. It is a species of the dove or pigeon, here called yonah, and in the Syriac yauno, from the verb to oppress, afflict, because of its being particularly defenceless, and exposed to rapine and violence. The dove is a genus of birds too well known to need a particular description; and of which there are several species besides the turtle-dove; as the wood pigeon, tame pigeon, and others. The dove is universally allowed to be one of the most beautiful objects in nature. The brilliancy of her plumage, the splendour of her eye, the innocence of her look, the excellence of her dispositions, and the purity of her manners, have been the theme of admiration and praise in every age. To the snowy whiteness of her wings, and the rich golden hues that adorn her neck, the inspired Psalmist alludes in most elegant strains (Ps 68:13). The voice of the dove is particularly tender and plaintive, and bears a striking resemblance to the groan of a person in distress; to which the inspired bards frequently allude (Isa 38:14; Isa 59:11; Ezek 7:16). Her native dwelling is in the caves or hollows of the rock; allusions to which fact also occur in the Sacred Writings (Song 2:14; Jer 48:28). Her manners are as engaging as her form is elegant, and her plumage rich and beautiful. She is the chosen emblem of simplicity, gentleness, chastity, and feminine timidity, and for this reason, as well as from their abounding in the East, they were probably chosen as offerings by Jehovah.
