Palesti'na Palestine. Pal'estine
The Hebrew word, Pelesheth, occurs but four times, and did not allude to the whole of the land of Canaan, as the name Palestine is now applied; but was restricted to part of the coast of the Mediterranean, occupied by the Philistines. In Ex 15:14-15, Palestina, Edom, and Moab are mentioned, and then 'all the inhabitants of Canaan.' In Joe 3:4, Tyre and Sidon are not included in the term. In these passages, and in Isa 14:29,31, it is usual now to translate the word PHILISTIA (as in the R.V.), the Hebrew being the same as in Ps 60:8; 87:4; 108:9. See CANAAN and SYRIA.
