Strong's Lexicon prumna: Stern Original Word: πρύμνα Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: prumna Pronunciation: PROOM-nah Phonetic Spelling: (proom'-nah) Definition: the stern of a ship. Meaning: The term "πρύμνα" refers to the "stern" or "back part of a ship." Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word πρῷρα (prōra), meaning "prow" or "front of a ship," indicating a nautical context. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πρύμνα, as it is a term specific to Greek nautical terminology. However, the concept of a ship's stern can be related to general Hebrew terms for parts of a ship or boat, though these are not directly linked in Strong's Concordance. Usage: The word πρύμνα is used in the New Testament to describe the stern of a ship, specifically in the context of maritime events or narratives. Context: The Greek term πρύμνα appears in the New Testament in the context of maritime travel, which was a common mode of transportation in the ancient Mediterranean world. The stern of a ship, or πρύμνα, is the rear part, opposite the prow or bow. This part of the ship was crucial for navigation and control, often housing the steering apparatus. In the New Testament, πρύμνα is notably used in the account of Jesus calming the storm in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 4:38 (BSB), it is written: "But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, 'Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?'" This passage highlights the humanity of Jesus, who, despite the storm, was resting in the stern, demonstrating His trust in God's providence and His authority over nature. The use of πρύμνα in this narrative underscores the dramatic setting of the miracle, as the disciples, in fear for their lives, find Jesus in the stern, a place of relative calm amidst the chaos. The stern, being a place where the ship is steered, symbolically represents control and direction, which Jesus ultimately asserts over the natural elements.
