bird
   birds are divided in the mosaic law into two classes, 1 the
   clean lev. 1:14-17; 5:7-10; 14:4-7, which were offered in
   sacrifice; and 2 the unclean lev. 11:13-20. when offered in
   sacrifice, they were not divided as other victims were gen.
   15:10. they are mentioned also as an article of food deut.
   14:11. the art of snaring wild birds is referred to ps. 124:7;
   prov. 1:17; 7:23; jer. 5:27. singing birds are mentioned in ps.
   104:12; eccl. 12:4. their timidity is alluded to hos. 11:11.
   the reference in ps. 84:3 to the swallow and the sparrow may be
   only a comparison equivalent to, "what her house is to the
   sparrow, and her nest to the swallow, that thine altars are to
   my soul."
