Dict: easton - Sparrow

easton:

Sparrow @ Mentioned among the offerings made by the very poor. Two sparrows were sold for a farthing kjv@Matthew:10:29), and five for two farthings kjv@Luke:12:6). The Hebrew word thus rendered is tsippor, which properly denotes the whole family of small birds which feed on grain kjv@Leviticus:14:4; kjv@Psalms:84:3 kjv@Psalms:102:7). The Greek word of the New Testament is strouthion kjv@Matthew:10:29-31), which is thus correctly rendered.
