And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.

And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

And on the third day, with their own hands, they threw the equipment of the ship overboard.

and, on the following day, threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

The tackling of the ship - The anchors, sails, cables, baggage, etc. That is, everything that was not indispensable to its preservation, for it seems still Acts 27:29 that they retained some of their anchors on board.

The tackling of the ship - Την σκευην; All supernumerary anchors, cables, baggage, etc.

And the third day,.... From the time this storm began, and this tempestuous weather held:
we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship; by which seems to be meant their naval stores and instruments, as sails, ropes, cables, anchors, &c. and yet we afterwards read of their anchors and main sail: it may be rendered, "the furniture of the ship"; and yet it cannot design the ship's provisions, at least all were not cast away; for afterwards mention is made of casting out the wheat into the sea: many versions render it, "the armament of the ship"; and the Ethiopic version adds, "and arms"; the soldiers' arms, and others which belonged to the ship, which were brought with them to defend themselves against an enemy: these, the historian says, "we cast out"; the Apostle Paul's company, Luke and others; but not without the leave and order of the centurion and governor of the ship: the Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "they cast out": which seems most probable.

cast out with our own hands--passengers and crew together.
the tackling of the ship--whatever they could do without that carried weight. This further effort to lighten the ship seems to show that it was now in a leaking condition, as will presently appear more evident.

We cast out the tackling of the ship - Cutting away even those masts that were not absolutely necessary.
