Genesis10:5
5. the isles of the Gentiles--a phrase by which the Hebrews described all countries which were accessible by sea (Is 11:11; 20:6; Jr 25:22). Such in relation to them were the countries of Europe, the peninsula of Lesser Asia, and the region lying on the east of the Euxine. Accordingly, it was in these quarters the early descendants of Japheth had their settlements.
