This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Ver. 15. Could not bear up] Or direct the eye against the wind, could not look it in the face. There is an elegance in the original, because part of the foreward of the ship is by mariners called the "ship’s eye," áíôïöèáëìåéí . ( Verbum Polybiauum. Hist. iv.)
