Berean Strong's Lexicon trugón: Turtledove Original Word: τρυγών Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τρύζω (tryzo), meaning "to coo" or "to murmur," which reflects the sound made by the bird. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8449 (תּוֹר, tor): Refers to the turtledove in the Hebrew Bible, used in similar contexts of sacrifice and symbolism. Usage: The term "trugón" refers to a turtledove, a small bird known for its gentle and mournful cooing. In the Bible, the turtledove is often associated with purity, innocence, and devotion. It is frequently mentioned in sacrificial contexts, symbolizing humility and the offering of oneself to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the turtledove was a common bird and held significant symbolic meaning. It was one of the few birds permitted for sacrifice under the Mosaic Law, often used by those who could not afford larger animals (Leviticus 1:14; 5:7). The turtledove's migratory patterns also made it a symbol of renewal and the changing seasons, as its return marked the arrival of spring (Song of Solomon 2:12).
