SPARROW
Mentioned among the offerings made by the very poor. Two sparrows were sold for a farthing (Matt. 10:29), and five for two farthings (Luke 12:6). The Hebrew word thus rendered is _tsippor_, which properly denotes the whole family of small birds which feed on grain (Lev. 14:4; Psa 84:3;102:7). The Greek word of the New Testament is _strouthion_ (Matt. 10:29), which is thus correctly rendered.
