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