In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to illustrate control and guidance, particularly in the context of speech and behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient maritime culture, the rudder was an essential component of a ship, allowing it to navigate through the waters. Ships in the Greco-Roman world were primarily steered using large oars or rudders, which were pivotal for maintaining direction and stability, especially during storms or challenging conditions. The rudder's significance in navigation made it a powerful metaphor for control and guidance in various aspects of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from pédon (the blade of an oar)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rudder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rudder (1), rudders (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4079: πηδάλιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πηδάλιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πηδαλίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (from <span class="greek2">πηδον</span> the blade of an oar, an oar), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, a ship's rudder :. <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-40.htm">Acts 27:40</a> (on the plural see Smith, Voy. and Shipwreck of St. Paul, 4th edition, p. 183ff; <span class="abbreviation">B.
