  1. Sea agitation amid roaring waves · dominant

    In Luke 21:25, the genitive singular noun occurs in the clause concerning the sea and waves; the APB renders the scene as distress and perplexity “at the roaring of the sea and the waves.” This supports a use for the sea’s tossing or agitation rather than a separate action by the nations.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 21:25, the APB presents the surrounding scene with “the roaring of the sea and the waves.” Its exact English correspondence to the noun cannot be isolated.
