pigeon in Leviticus 1
PIJ-un
This creature shows up in Leviticus 1:14: ““‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.

““‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.”
What kids can learn
When you hear pigeon in Leviticus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Leviticus 1:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
