Ezekiel 27:7
(God is salvation), the eldest son of Javan. (Genesis 10:4) The residence of his descendants is described in (Ezekiel 27:7) as the isles of Elishah, whence the Phoenicians obtained their purple and blue dyes. Some connect the race of Elishah with the 'olians, others with Elishah, and in a more extended sense Peloponnesus, or even Hellas.
