turtledove in Luke 2
TUR-tul-duv
This creature shows up in Luke 2:24: “and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Luke 2:24
“and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.””
What kids can learn
When you hear turtledove in Luke, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Luke 2:24 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
