Isle. The radical sense of the Hebrew word seems to be "habitable places", as opposed to water, and in this sense, it occurs in Isaiah 42:15. Hence, it means secondarily, any maritime district, whether belonging to a continent or to an island; thus it is used of the shore of the Mediterranean, Isaiah 20:6; Isaiah 23:2; Isaiah 23:6, and of the coasts of Elishah, Ezekiel 27:7, that is, of Greece and Asia Minor.
