<p> (חוֹ, '' | <p> (חוֹ, ''Choph,'' Genesis 44:13, a ''Sea-Side'' or "coast," as elsewhere rendered; מָחוֹז . ''Machoz','' a ''Refuge,'' hence a harbor, Psalms 107:30; λιμἠν, Acts 27:12). The Phoenician part of the coast of Palestine had several fine harbors, (See [[Phoenicia]]), and some such were also in possession of the Hebrews: such were [[Caesarea]] and [[Joppa]] (q.v. severally), which were especially made use of for coastwise communication ( 1 [[Maccabees]] 14:5; 1 Maccabees 14:34; Josephus, Ant. 15, 9, 6). The port (מָבוֹא יָם ) of [[Tyre]] (q.v.) was the most famous on the whole [[Mediterranean]] shore ( Ezekiel 27:3). A harbor is called אָקְרָא in Chaldee, also in Samaritan. (See [[Navigation]]). The Cretan harbor called [[Fair Havens]] (q.v.), Καλοἱ Λιμένες, is incidentally mentioned in the N.T. ( Acts 27:8). (See [[Crete]]). </p> | ||
