A vessel driven onto a sandbar · dominant
In Acts 27:41, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause describing the vessel's encounter with a sandbar. The APB renders the verse, “They struck a sandbar and the ship ran aground,” then describes its bow as stuck fast and its stern as breaking up.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 27:41, the APB presents the vessel as “the ship” that “ran aground.” The verse is read as a whole, but the surrounding clause clearly concerns the vessel striking the sandbar.
