Acts 27:19

Context
27:19 and on the third day they threw the ship’s gear 1  overboard with their own hands.

Acts 27:38

Context
27:38 When they had eaten enough to be satisfied, 2  they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat 3  into the sea.

1 tn Or “rigging,” “tackle”; Grk “the ship’s things.” Here the more abstract “gear” is preferred to “rigging” or “tackle” as a translation for σκεῦος (skeuos) because in v. 40 the sailors are still able to raise the (fore)sail, which they could not have done if the ship’s rigging or tackle had been jettisoned here.

2 tn Or “When they had eaten their fill.”

3 tn Or “grain.”
