Coast
COAST.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 (Act 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 (Mat 2:16).

Coast
kost (, gebhul, etc., boundary; compare , gebhal, mountain and Arabic jebel, mountain; , hebhel, literally, a rope; compare Arabic habl (Jos 19:29 the King James Version; Zep 2:5, Zep 2:6, Zep 2:7); , hoph, literally, that which is washed; compare Arabic haffet (Jos 9:1 the King James Version; Eze 25:16); , paralios, literally, by the sea (Luk 6:17)): Coast (from Latin costa, 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 gebhul, etc.; in Act 27:2 the American Standard Revised Version, coast is the translation of , topos, 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.
