A bird's egg, typically a hen's egg in domestic contexts. Jesus uses this common food item in Luke 11:12 within a rhetorical question about parental provision: if a child asks for an egg, what father would give a scorpion? The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'un-huevo', French 'œuf', English 'an-egg') uniformly identify this ordinary food, which Jesus employs to illustrate the reliability of divine provision compared to human parental instincts.
