Mentioned among the offerings made by the very poor. Two sparrows were sold for a farthing ( Matthew 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 ( Leviticus 14:4 ; Psalms 84:3 ; 102:7 ). The Greek word of the New Testament is strouthion ( Matthew 10:29-31 ), which is thus correctly rendered.
