Narrator: Chris Genthree
Duration: 25sec
Eldest son of Javan, the son of Japheth (Gen. 10:44And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (Genesis 10:4); 1 Chron. 1:77And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (1 Chronicles 1:7)). His descendants apparently occupied the “isles of Elishah,” and supplied the Phoenicians with blue and purple (Ezek. 27:77Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee. (Ezekiel 27:7)). Josephus identifies them with the Æolians. Others connect Elishah with Elis in the Peloponnesus.
