NETBible

and to offer a sacrifice according to what is specified in the law of the Lord, a pair of doves¹ or two young pigeons.²

NET Notes

¹sn The offering of a pair of doves or two young pigeons, instead of a lamb, speaks of the humble roots of Jesus’ family – they apparently could not afford the expense of a lamb.

²sn A quotation from Lev 12:8; 5:11 (LXX).
