Nautical Terms in Greek Language
Used in the Book of Hebrews

The book of Hebrews employs several Greek words which in secular use were nautical terms and give vivid pictures regarding the Christian life. These maritime expressions draw from the nautical language of the ancient world, where sea travel was essential for commerce, communication, and survival. The author of Hebrews uses these terms to convey profound theological truths about faith, perseverance, and divine aid in the time of need.
