SPARROW ( tsippôr , Psalms 84:3; Psalms 102:7 ). The Heb. word is probably equivalent of Arab. [Note: Arabic.] ‘asfûr , and includes any ‘twittering’ birds; generally tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘bird’ or ‘fowl’. See Bird. In the NT references ( Matthew 10:29 , Luke 12:6-7 ) strouthion evidently refers to the sparrow, which to-day is sold for food as cheaply as in NT times.
