The Key Word — φοβούμενοί, phobeōgenerated
The word φοβέω is a present participle meaning 'fearing' and indicates a state of alarm or awe. It suggests that the crew was not only afraid of the immediate danger but also reverent in their recognition of the situation's severity.
In this context, their fear drives them to take practical steps for safety while also turning to prayer, highlighting the interplay between human action and divine reliance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks,' which is consistent with the KJV, ASV, and WEB. All these versions convey the sense of fear prompting action.
However, the YLT and BBE use slightly different phrasing, with YLT saying 'fearing lest on rough places we may fall,' which emphasizes the potential for falling on rough terrain.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb in the verse is ῥίψαντες, having cast, which governs the actions of the crew. This verb is supported by a participial phrase describing their fear and a series of clauses detailing their actions.
The structure includes a main clause indicating the crew's fear, followed by subordinate clauses that detail their actions of dropping anchors and praying. This arrangement emphasizes the urgency and sequential nature of their response.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
φοβέω is also present in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word יָרֵא (H3372), meaning 'to fear.' This connection underscores a consistent theme of fear in both the Old and New Testaments.
τόπος (place) in the LXX corresponds to the Hebrew מָקוֹם (H4725), which also refers to a specific location, reinforcing the idea of the ship being in a perilous place.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 27:29 shows the crew of a ship in a storm, afraid they would crash on rocky ground. To prevent disaster, they dropped four anchors from the back of the ship and prayed for daybreak, hoping for safety and a new beginning.

So Cæsar describes his ships as being secured with four anchors each (Bell. Civ. i. 25). In ancient navigation, as in modern, the anchors were commonly cast from the bow.

φοβέω is derived from φόβος and primarily means to frighten or to be alarmed. It covers a range of meanings from being terrified to having reverential fear, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 10:31 and Luke 1:50. The word is used in both active and passive forms, but in the New Testament, it appears only in the passive sense.

The Greek word τέ (te) is an enclitic copulative particle that functions similarly to the Latin '-que' and is used to denote a closer connection than the more general καί (kai). It appears primarily in the New Testament, especially in the book of Acts, and can mean 'and,' 'both,' or 'also.' Notably, it is used in verses like Matthew 28:12 and Acts 2:33.
τέ, enclitic copulative particle (= Lat. -que as καί = et, ac, atque), not very freq. in NT, more than two-thirds of the occurrences being in Ac.
τέ solitarium, and, denoting a closer affinity than καί between words and sentences which it connects (Bl., §77, 8): Mt 28:12, Jo 4:42, Ac 2:33, 37, 40 10:22 11:21, al.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

τραχύς (trachus) means rough or rugged. It is used in the New Testament in contexts referring to rocky places, such as in Luke 3:5 and Acts 27:29. The word can describe various rough surfaces or conditions, including voices and natural features. The lexicons consistently define it as rough without significant disagreement.

The phraseology of such passages as Mk 67 (δύο δύο), 9 (συμπόσια συμπόσια) and 1° (πρασιαὶ πρασιαί) has hitherto been generally put down to Hebraistic influence.

τόπος (i.e. *topos*) means 'place' and refers to a specific location or position, whether inhabited or uninhabited. It can also denote metaphorical concepts such as opportunity or condition. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical locations (e.g., Luke 4:37) and metaphorical meanings (e.g., Romans 12:19). The lexicons note its use in both literal and figurative senses without significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἐκπίπτω (ekpipto) combines the prefix ἐκ (out of) with πίπτω (to fall). It generally means to fall out of, fall from, or fall off, and can also imply losing something or becoming ineffective. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like falling away from grace (Galatians 5:4) and being cast ashore (Acts 27:17).

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word πρύμνα (i.e., *prumna*) refers to the hindmost part of a ship, specifically the stern. It is derived from the adjective πρυμνός and is used in the New Testament in Mark 4:38 and Acts 27:29, 41. The term can also have metaphorical meanings, such as referring to the bottom of something or the vessel of the State.
πρύμνα, -ης, ἡ, (fem. of the adj. πρυμνός, -, -ov, last, hindmost; used substantively with recessive accent; [cf. W. 227}. fr. Hom. down, the stern or hinder part of a ship: Mk. iv. 38; Acts xxvii. 29; opp. to mpapa, ib. 41.

The Greek word ῥίπτω (i.e., *rhipto*) means to throw, cast, or hurl. It can refer to throwing objects, casting nets, or even throwing oneself down. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as throwing down money (Mt 27:5) or casting out demons (Lk 4:35). The word has a related form, ῥιπτέω, which emphasizes a similar action.

a primary verb (perhaps rather akin to the base of 4474, through the
idea of sudden motion); to fling (properly, with a quick toss, thus
differing from 906, which denotes a deliberate hurl; and from teino

In general "to throw," with various degrees of violence; usually, with force, but not so necessarily, as e.g. in "cast a net," "cast lots." When applied to molten metal, as in English, first, "to let run. into molds," with reference to their descent by gravity, and, then, "to form," as in Ex 25:12, etc. Usually in the New Testament for ballo, but not always. Thus, in Lu 1:29 "cast in her mind" means "considered" (dielogizeto); "cast reproach" for Greek oneidizon, "reproached" (Mt 27:44); "casting down" for kathaireo, "demolishing" (2Co 10:4); "casting all anxiety upon" (1Pe 5:7), a still stronger term, as in

The Greek word ἄγκυρα (i.e., *ankura*) means 'anchor' and is derived from a root meaning 'bend.' It appears in the New Testament in Acts 27:29, 30, 40 and Hebrews 6:19, where it is used both literally and figuratively to signify hope as a safeguard. The lexicons note various uses in ancient literature, including expressions related to casting and weighing anchor.

τέσσαρες (tessares) means 'four' and is used in various forms, including the nominative and accusative. It appears in several New Testament verses, such as Matthew 24:31 and Mark 2:3. The lexicons note some variation in forms, particularly between τέσσαρες and τέσσερες, but there is no significant disagreement on its meaning.

τέσσαρες, “four.” On the forms τέσσαρες and τέσσερες see WH Wotes*, p. 157. Moulton (Proleg. p. 36) notes that the characteristic Achaian acc. in—es is well established in the vernacular, and that ‘‘in the NT τέσσαρας never occurs without some excellent authority for τέσσαρες. Te adds to the discussion of τέσσαρες as accusative the reminder that the word ‘‘is isolated, as the only early cardinal which ever had a separate acc. form,” and cites statistics from the Ostraca to show how this indeclinable form predominated in business language before A.D. 200 (26. p. 243). The dat. pl. τέτρασι in Ac 115 D is interesting.

εὔχομαι (euchomai) means to pray or wish, often directed towards God. It can take various constructions, such as praying for a person or thing, and is used in contexts of making vows. The New Testament references include Acts 26:29 and 2 Corinthians 13:7, 9, among others. Notably, Thayer mentions a distinction in its use between praying and wishing, which may be relevant for interpretation.

In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it. But, although anti in the New Testament often means…

ἡμέρα is a feminine noun meaning 'day,' covering various usages from the natural day (sunrise to sunset) to a full 24-hour period. It appears in contexts contrasting day with night, as well as in metaphorical senses related to time and judgment. The New Testament references include specific phrases like 'by day' and 'every day,' with notable occurrences in Matthew and Revelation.

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:
(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see
Day
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…
The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…
The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.

γίνομαι (ginomai) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to come into being, be born, or arise. It covers a wide range of uses, from the creation of things to events occurring. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as birth (e.g., Romans 1:3), occurrences in nature (e.g., John 12:29), and actions being performed (e.g., Matthew 21:42). It can also express the idea of becoming or changing states.
