Looking for Greek G3123 mâllon? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H3123. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
yôwnâh appears 31 times in Scripture, including Genesis 8:8 and Leviticus 1:14. In the Doxa app, open any verse that uses it, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.

“But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.”
“But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He must not put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.”
“And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.”
“Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.”
“And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.”
“When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.”
“and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.”
“If, instead, one’s offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present a turtledove or a young pigeon.”
“Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.”
