<p> <strong> COAST </strong> . Coast, now confined to the shore of the sea, was formerly used of the border between two countries, or the neighbourhood of any place. When St. [[Paul]] ‘passed through the upper coasts’ ( Acts 19:1 ), he was in the interior of [[Asia]] Minor. [[Herod]] ‘slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof’ ( Matthew 2:16 ). </p> | |||

<p> COAST, n. </p> 1. The exterior line, limit or border of a country, as in Scripture. From the river to the uttermost sea shall your coast be. Deuteronomy 11 . And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim. Numbers 24. [[Hence]] the word may signify the whole country within certain limits. Exodus 10:4 . 2. The edge or margin of the land next to the sea the sea-shore. This is the more common application of the word and it seems to be used for sea-coast, the border of the sea. Hence it is never used for the bank of a river. 3. A side applied to objects indefinitely, by [[Bacon]] and Newton. This is a correct use of the word, but now obsolete. 4. The country near the sea-shore as, populous towns along the coast. <p> The coast is clear, is a proverbial phrase signifying, the danger is over the enemies have marched off, or left the coast. </p> <p> COAST, </p> 1. To sail near a coast to sail by or near the shore, or in sight of land. <p> The ancients coasted only in their navigation. </p> 2. To sail from port to port in the same country. <p> COAST, </p> 1. To sail by or near to as, to coast the [[American]] shore. 2. To draw near to approach to follow. | |||

<p> '''''kōst''''' ( גּבוּל , <i> '''''gebhūl''''' </i> , etc., "boundary"; compare גּבל , <i> '''''gebhal''''' </i> , "mountain" and [[Arabic]] <i> '''''jebel''''' </i> , "mountain"; חבל , <i> '''''ḥebhel''''' </i> , literally, "a rope"; compare Arabic <i> '''''ḥabl''''' </i> (Joshua 19:29 the King James Version; Zephaniah 2:5 , Zephaniah 2:6 , Zephaniah 2:7 ); חוף , <i> '''''ḥōph''''' </i> , literally, "that which is washed"; compare Arabic <i> '''''ḥāffet''''' </i> (Joshua 9:1 the King James Version; Ezekiel 25:16 ); παράλιος , <i> '''''parálios''''' </i> , literally, "by the sea" (Luke 6:17 )): "Coast" (from [[Latin]] <i> costa </i> , "rib" or "side") in the sense of "seacoast," occurs but a few times in the Bible. In nearly all the many passages where the King James Version has "coast," the [[Revised]] Version (British and American) correctly has "border," i.e. "boundary," translating <i> '''''gebhūl''''' </i> , etc.; in Acts 27:2 the [[American]] Standard Revised Version, "coast" is the translation of τόπος , <i> '''''tópos''''' </i> , literally, "place." That the seacoast is but seldom mentioned arises naturally from the fact that, while the promised land extended to the sea, the coast was never effectively occupied by the Israelites. </p> <p> RVm in a number of places renders <i> ''''''ı̄''''' </i> , [[English]] [[Versions]] of the [[Bible]] "isle" or "island" (which see), by "coastland," e.g. Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 23:6; Isaiah 24:15; Isaiah 59:18; Jeremiah 25:22; Ezekiel 39:6; Daniel 11:18; Zephaniah 2:11 . In Isaiah 20:6 , the King James Version has "isle," the King James Version margin"country," and the Revised Version (British and American) "coast-land." In Jeremiah 47:4 , the King James Version has "country," the King James Version marginand the Revised Version (British and American) "isle," and the Revised Version, margin "sea-coast." See [[Isle]] . </p> | |||

<p> an inaccurate rendering in the A. V. of various terms (usually גְּבוּל, חבֶל, etc., Gr. ὅριον ) signifying border (q.v.), boundary, or extremity, except in the expression "sea-coast" (חוֹ Š, choph, Ezekiel 25:16; παράλιος, Luke 6:17; παραθαλάσσιος, Matthew 9:13). (See [[Sea]]). </p> | |||
