Shore
SHORE. The land where it meets the sea, represented by five words in Scripture—three Hebrew and two Greek:
1. Hôph, that which is washed by the sea (Judg.5.17; Jer.47.7).
2. Qātseh, the end or extremity (Josh.15.2), referring to the Dead Sea.
3. Sāphâh, the lip or edge (Gen.22.17), the sand that is on the seashore.
4. Cheilos, the same idea as no. 3 (Heb.11.12).
5. Aigialos, the beach. In the ministry of our Lord in Galilee, the multitude stood on the shore and Jesus sat in a boat so that all could see and hear without crowding him (Matt.13.2). After his resurrection, Jesus stood on the shore while the disciples were fruitlessly fishing to hide their sorrow and perplexity (John.21.4). In Acts.27.39 (kjv) the bank of a wide creek is called a shore.
