Dear Vadim,

My question was, what problem could Jews in mountaneous Jerusalem have with
those islands?

HH: It is the people from those islands and coastlands that could have something to do with Israel. The coastlands and islands included the Greek and Roman people. Both those peoples were world conquerors. So having a few mountains did not ultimately protect you from them.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
