Strongs Concordance:
(Heb. i, "dry land," as opposed to water) occurs in its usual signification (Isaiah 42:4, 10, 12, 15, comp. Jeremiah 47:4), but more frequently simply denotes a maritime region or sea-coast (Isaiah 20:6, R.V.," coastland;" 23:2, 6; Jeremiah 2:10; Ezekiel 27:6, 7). (See CHITTIM.) The shores of the Mediterranean are called the "islands of the sea" (Isaiah 11:11), or the "isles of the Gentiles" (Genesis 10:5), and sometimes simply "isles" (Psalms 72:10); Ezekiel 26:15, 18; 27:3, 35; Daniel 11:18).
