CORMORANT

A sea bird (Phalacrocorax), of which there are some 30 species. Some species spend the winter in Palestine, along the coast and the banks of the Sea of Galilee, making their nests on the rocks and in the hollows and crevices. They are exceptional swimmers and divers, able to swallow large fish whole because of the elasticity of their gullets. Their extended bodies and long, slender necks are striking.

As a predatory bird, the cormorant is included among unclean birds (Lev. 11:17; Deut. 14:17). However, scholars continue to debate the meaning of Heb. šālāḵ (e.g., “fisher-owl,” “pelican”).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
