1 | How do Matthew 2 and Luke 2 meld? | Luke 2:39 | Searcher56 | 27338 | ||
Johnny, you need to meld Luke and Matthew. Luke 2:39 happened on day 40 of His life on earth (Lev 12:1-4). -So did they go back to Bethlehem after this visit? -Did the magi worship Him before or after day 40? --If before, why did they only offered a sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons (Luk 2:24, Lev 12:6-8)? They were not poor? |

2 | How do Matthew 2 and Luke 2 meld? | Luke 2:39 | Love Fountain | 27351 | ||
Dear searcher, You ask"why did they only offer a sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons? They were not poor?" This is a great question and one that I don't have a complete answer for, but maybe what I do have will help. From the World Book Encylopedia 1988 as follows: Pigeon is any bird in the pigeon and dove family. The larger members of the family are usually called pigeons and the smaller ones doves. Many scientists believe that a male and female pigeon mate with each other for life. Most other kinds of birds mate with different partners. To me this represents true love, to be with one partner all your life. How this fits with your question?, I'm not sure, but I hope you know. Also, I was led to 2Cor 8:8-12, with emphasis on verse 9 in regards to your "they were not poor" question. Sorry to butt in, I felt a moved to respond because I have always wondered things about the doves and pigeons and never taken the steps. Anyway, hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain |
