Pelican, D.V., Psalm 102:6 (Vulgate: Psalm 101), for Hebr. qã'áth - Strongs: H6893, in other places is rendered by bittern, for which it might be advantageously substituted. Pelicans are usually found about marshes (Isaiah 34:11), and are in the habit of sitting for hours in sandy desolate places Psalm 102:6 (Vulgate: Psalm 101); Soph., ii, 14] after they have gorged.
