Concise Bible Dictionary
:
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
Exodus 15:14-15
14
The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. (Exodus 15:14‑15)
, Palestina,
Edom
, and
Moab
are mentioned, and then “all the inhabitants of Canaan.” In
Joel 3:4
4
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; (Joel 3:4)

Tyre
and
Sidon
are not included in the term. In these passages, and in
Isaiah 14:29, 31
29
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. (Isaiah 14:29)
31
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. (Isaiah 14:31)
, it is usual now to translate
the word
PHILISTIA
(as in the RV), the Hebrew being the same as in
Psalm 60:8
8
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. (Psalm 60:8)
;
Psalm 87:4
4
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. (Psalm 87:4)
