ISLE - I>@ - The radical sense of the Hebrew word seems to be "habitable places," as opposed to water, and in this sense it occurs in kjv@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, kjv@Isaiah:20:6 kjv@Isaiah:23:2 kjv@Isaiah:23:6) and of the coasts of Elishah, kjv@Ezekiel:27:7) i.e. of Greece and Asia Minor.
