For example, the Greek word ἱστίον (histion), Strong's Greek Number 3795, refers to a sail in the context of a ship. This term appears in Acts 27:40, where it describes the actions taken during a sea voyage. Usage: The term מִפְרָשׂ is used in the context of describing a sail, as seen in the Hebrew Bible. It is a noun that denotes something that is spread out, typically in reference to a ship's sail. Context: The Hebrew word מִפְרָשׂ (miphras) appears in the context of maritime imagery, specifically referring to the sail of a ship. This term is found in the book of Ezekiel, where it is used to describe the grandeur and craftsmanship of Tyre's ships. In Ezekiel 27:7, the prophet Ezekiel poetically describes the splendor of Tyre, a prominent Phoenician city known for its maritime prowess. The verse states: "Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail, serving as your banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning." Here, מִפְרָשׂ is translated as "sail," highlighting its function as a crucial component of ancient seafaring vessels. The use of fine materials for the sail underscores the wealth and sophistication of Tyre's maritime trade. The imagery of the sail not only conveys the physical aspect of the ship but also symbolizes the expansive reach and influence of Tyre's commerce across the Mediterranean.
