However, the concept of sails and maritime navigation can be related to Hebrew terms for ships and sea travel, such as "אֳנִיָּה" (H591) for "ship."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "artemón" refers to a specific type of sail used on ancient ships, particularly the foresail. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the sail that was set to help steer the ship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient maritime practices, the foresail was an essential part of a ship's rigging. It was used to aid in navigation and control, especially during adverse weather conditions. The use of sails was a critical component of seafaring in the Mediterranean world, where trade and travel by sea were common.
