Strong Concordance | Ac 27:14 | But [1161] not [3756] long [4183] after [3326] there arose [906] against [2596] it [846] a tempestuous [5189] wind [417], called [2564] Euroclydon [2148]. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
EUROCLYDON | The wave-stirring easter, a tempestuous wind which came down on Paul's ship on the south shore of Crete, and at length wrecked her upon Malta, Ac 27:1-44. The small island Clauda, south of which she passed, and the "Syrtis" on the African coast, into which the seamen feared she would be driven, Ac 27:17, lay southwest of Crete. The result shows that the general course of the wind was east- northeast. It would now be called there a Levanter. |
