Strong's Lexicon ploos or plous: Voyage, Sailing Original Word: πλοῦς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πλέω (pleō), meaning "to sail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ploos," the concept of sea travel can be related to Hebrew terms like יָם (yam, Strong's H3220) meaning "sea," which is often used in the context of maritime activities. Usage: The term "ploos" refers to a journey or voyage by sea. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of traveling by ship, often in the context of missionary journeys or significant travels of biblical figures. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was a common means of transportation for trade, military, and personal travel. The sea was both a vital resource and a source of danger due to unpredictable weather and the threat of shipwrecks. The Apostle Paul, among others, frequently traveled by sea during his missionary journeys, reflecting the importance of maritime travel in spreading the Gospel.
