'Harbor' in the Bible

A message concerning Tyre. "Wail, you ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is destroyed and is without house or harbor! From the land of Cyprus it was revealed to them.

"Cultivate your land like the Nile, you daughter of Tarshish; for there is no longer a harbor.

Jerusalem, wash your evil from your heart so that you may be delivered. How long will you harbor evil schemes within you?

Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men favored putting out to sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix and spend the winter there. It is a Cretian harbor that faces southwest and northwest.
