(Heb. ‘i, “dry land,” as opposed to water) occurs in its usual signification (Isa 42:4, Isa 42:10, Isa 42:12, Isa 42:15, comp. Jer 47:4), but more frequently simply denotes a maritime region or sea-coast (Isa 20:6, R.V.,” coastland;” Isa 23:2, Isa 23:6; Jer 2:10; Ezek 27:6, Ezek 27:7). (See Chittim.) The shores of the Mediterranean are called the “islands of the sea” (Isa 11:11), or the “isles of the Gentiles” (Gen 10:5), and sometimes simply “isles” (Ps 72:10); Ezek 26:15, Ezek 26:18; Ezek 27:3, Ezek 27:35; Dan 11:18).
