NETBible

and to offer a sacrifice according to what is specified in the law of the Lord, a pair of doves 1  or two young pigeons. 2 

NET Notes

1 sn 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.

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