CORMORANT ( Leviticus 11:17 , Deuteronomy 14:17 , shâlâk ). The shâlâk , as the meaning of the word implies, was some kind of plunging bird. Two varieties of cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo and P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] . pygmÅ“us , occur in Palestine both on the sea coasts and on inland waters, e.g. the Dead Sea. It was an ‘unclean’ bird. See also Pelican.
