The foresail or mainsail of a ship, a nautical term for the principal sail used in navigation
In nautical contexts, this refers to a ship's foresail or main sail, the primary canvas used to catch wind and propel the vessel forward. The term appears in Acts during Paul's dramatic shipwreck narrative, where the crew hoisted this sail to beach the ship. Ancient Mediterranean sailors depended on such sails for navigation, making this a technical maritime term that Luke preserves with precision.

1. sense 1 — The singular occurrence in Acts 27:40 describes the crew raising the foresail as they attempted to run the ship aground on Malta's shore. The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'vela-de-proa' = prow-sail, French 'voile' = sail) confirms the nautical specificity of this rare New Testament term, preserved only in Luke's detailed shipwreck account. 1×
