In Israel there were three types of animals offered as a sacrifice. These particular animals represented the three classes of Israel. The sacrifice of the herd (bulls) was often brought and offered by the rich, while the sacrifice of the flock (lamb) was generally offered by the middle class. The offerings of fowl (pigeons or turtle doves) were generally brought by the poor. However, Leviticus 1 tells us that all three had the same result in being "a sweet savour unto the LORD."
