Verse 7
Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
The isles of Elishah — Probably the sea-coast of Aeolis in the lesser Asia, the inhabitants whereof were excellent in the skill of dying wool.
Which covered — He speaks of the coverings they used in their ships or galleys: their tilts, as our boat-men call them.
