In a broader sense, it can also imply leadership or governance, as the pilot is responsible for guiding the ship safely to its destination.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the role of the kubernétés was crucial for maritime activities, which were central to trade, travel, and military endeavors. The pilot was highly respected for his skill and knowledge of the seas, as he had to navigate through treacherous waters and unpredictable weather. This role required wisdom, experience, and the ability to make quick decisions, qualities that were also valued in leaders and governors.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/2941.htm">kubernésis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a steersman, pilot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pilot (1), shipmaster (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 2942: κυβερνήτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κυβερνήτης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κυβερνητου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">κυβερνάω</span> (`to steer'; see the preceding word)); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">steersman, helmsman, sailing-master</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">A.
