Usage: The Hebrew word "tor" refers to the turtle-dove, a bird known for its gentle and peaceful nature. In the Bible, the turtle-dove is often associated with sacrifice and purity. It is one of the birds permitted for offerings, particularly for those who could not afford larger animals, symbolizing humility and devotion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the turtle-dove was a common bird and held significant symbolic meaning. It was often seen as a symbol of love and fidelity due to its monogamous nature. The turtle-dove's cooing was a familiar sound in the land, marking the change of seasons. In the sacrificial system, turtle-doves were accessible to the poor, allowing everyone to participate in the religious rites and maintain a relationship with God.
