Strong's Lexicon artemón: foresail Original Word: ἀρτεμών Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: artemón Pronunciation: ar-teh-mohn' Phonetic Spelling: (ar-tem'-ohn) Definition: foresail Meaning: a foresail, set on the bow. Word Origin: Derived from Latin "artemon," which refers to a type of sail. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "artemón," as it is a term specific to Greek and Roman nautical terminology. However, the concept of sails and maritime navigation can be related to Hebrew terms for ships and sea travel, such as "אֳנִיָּה" (H591) for "ship." Usage: The term "artemón" refers to a specific type of sail used on ancient ships, particularly the foresail. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the sail that was set to help steer the ship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient maritime practices, the foresail was an essential part of a ship's rigging. It was used to aid in navigation and control, especially during adverse weather conditions. The use of sails was a critical component of seafaring in the Mediterranean world, where trade and travel by sea were common. Understanding the function of the foresail provides insight into the challenges faced by sailors in biblical times.
