The Definition of the word Pelicans

Pelicans

Are frequently met with at the waters of Merom and the Sea of Galilee. The pelican is ranked among unclean birds (Lev. 11:18; "Deut. 14:17). It is of an enormous size, being about 6 feet" "long, with wings stretching out over 12 feet. The Hebrew name" "(kaath, i.e., "vomiter") of this bird is incorrectly rendered" cormorant in the Authorized Version of Isa. 34:11 and Zeph. "2:14, but correctly in the Revised Version. It receives its" Hebrew name from its habit of storing in its pouch large "quantities of fish, which it disgorges when it feeds its young." "Two species are found on the Syrian coast, the Pelicanus" "onocrotalus, or white pelican, and the Pelicanus crispus, or" Dalmatian pelican.
