Island:
(Heb. 'i, "dry land," as opposed to water) occurs in its usual signification (Isa 42:4,10,12,15, comp. Jer. 47:4), but more frequently simply denotes a maritime region or sea-coast (Isa 20:6, R.V.," coastland; 23:2,6; Jer 2:10; Eze 27:6,7). (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" (Psa 72:10); Eze 26:15, 18; Eze 27:3, 35; Dan 11:18).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
