Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down") and πλέω (pleō, meaning "to sail").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταπλέω, as it specifically pertains to Greek maritime terminology. However, the concept of traveling or arriving by sea can be loosely related to Hebrew terms for travel or journey, such as יָצָא (yatsa, meaning "to go out" or "to depart") when used in the context of setting out on a journey.

Usage: The term καταπλέω is used in the context of maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of sailing to a particular location, often implying the completion of a journey by sea.

Context: The Greek verb καταπλέω appears in the New Testament in the context of maritime journeys, reflecting the common practice of sea travel in the ancient Mediterranean world. This term is used to describe the action of a ship arriving at a port, emphasizing the completion of a voyage. In the Berean Standard Bible, καταπλέω is used in Acts 27:5, where it describes the journey of Paul as he sails to various locations during his missionary travels. The use of καταπλέω highlights the importance of sea travel in the spread of the early Christian message and the interconnectedness of the ancient world through maritime routes. The term underscores the logistical challenges and the adventurous spirit of early Christian missionaries who traversed the seas to spread the Gospel.
