The more passive reception is seen in Acts 3.21, where another word is used.27:12 south-east. (a-33) Lit. 'looking down the south-west (wind) and down the north-west.' Down the wind is the point to which it blows. 27:17 frapping (b-8) Cables round the hull. Syrtis (c-18) * The dreaded quicksands of N.
