12<\/sup> And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

sailing was now dangerous (v.9) \u2014 It was considered dangerous to sail between September 14 and November 11. From November 11 to March 5, all sailing on the open sea stopped.<\/h3>\n

the Fast (v.9) \u2014 The Day of Atonement (Leviticus 17:29). This was fixed for the tenth day of the seventh month (Tisri), and fell either in the latter part of September or the beginning of October. In AD 59, it occurred on October 5, so that the “dangerous” season was already well advanced. \u2014 Walker, page 549.<\/span><\/h3>\n

opening toward the southwest and northwest (v.12) \u2014 The Greek may be rendered literally “looking down the southwest wind and the northwest wind.” The harbor faced the northeast and southeast. This exactly describes the harbor of Lutro which has an easterly aspect. In such a haven, they would be safely sheltered from northerly and westerly winds. \u2014 Walker, page 551.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
