Kisah Para Rasul 27:19

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

[27:19]  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.
