Strong's Lexicon tsippor: Bird, Sparrow Original Word: צִפּוֹר Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tsippowr Pronunciation: tsip-PORE Phonetic Spelling: (tsip-pore') Definition: Bird, Sparrow Meaning: a little bird Word Origin: From the root צָפַר (tsaphar), which means "to skip about" or "to chirp." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4765 (strouthion): Often translated as "sparrow" in the New Testament, used in passages like Matthew 10:29, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsippor" generally refers to small birds, often sparrows, in the biblical text. It is used to denote birds in a general sense, emphasizing their small size and often their insignificance in the grand scheme of creation. The term is used metaphorically to illustrate themes of care, providence, and the value of life in the eyes of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, birds were a common part of the natural landscape and were often observed for their behaviors and characteristics. Sparrows, in particular, were abundant and considered of little monetary value, yet they were recognized for their liveliness and freedom. The cultural understanding of birds as creatures under God's care is reflected in various biblical passages, highlighting God's providence and attention to all His creation, no matter how small.
