Gevurot 27:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² But the port being unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority decided to set sail from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to spend the winter. It was a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.

¹³ And a gentle south wind began to blow, and they thought they could attain their matarah (objective), so they weighed anchor and they were sailing past Crete, close by the shore.

¹⁴ After not much time a violent, typhoon force wind rushed down from Crete, the so called Euraquilo, the Northeaster.
