Rudder
(, Act 27:20, strictly a footlet; helm, Jam 3:4), an oar (hence the English paddle) used by the ancients for steering vessels, being passed through an eye or rowlock at the stern; when at anchor they were unshipped, and secured from slipping through the rudder port by lashings (, bands). There were usually two of these rudders (hence the plural), one on each quarter of the vessel. SEE SHIP.

Rudder
“a rudder” (akin to pedos, “the blade of an oar”), occurs in Jam 3:4, RV, “rudder” (AV, “helm”), and Act 27:40, plural, RV, “(the bands of) the rudders,” AV, “the rudder (bands).” The pedalia were actually steering paddles, two of which were used as “rudders” in ancient ships.
