Leviticus 1:14 (c) This bird probably is used to indicate a very small and narrow view of the person of CHRIST as our sacrifice. It is almost the smallest of all the offerings. The sparrow is the only one that is smaller. The lamb was a larger offering and indicates a more comprehensive view of the value of CHRIST in His sacrificial work. The bullock is the largest of the offerings, and indicates a wide and deep knowledge of the work and the person of the Lord JESUS in His sacrifice for us. Thus the Lord makes provision for every kind of person, none needs to be excluded.

Psalm 74:19 (b) It is typical of the weakness felt by GOD's people in the presence of their enemies.
