Coast
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
COAST . Coast, now confined to the shore of the sea, was formerly used of the border between two countries, or the neighbourhood of any place. When St. Paul ‘passed through the upper coasts’ ( Acts 19:1 ), he was in the interior of Asia Minor. Herod ‘slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof’ ( Matthew 2:16 ).
