Notes: In a number of languages a clear distinction is made between terms which designate land in contrast with water and those which designate cultivated land. Even in English the normal term for land close to water is ‘shore’ or ‘coast,’ and therefore one may translate OET MAT 14:24 as ‘the boat was already far away from the shore.’ Similarly, in OET ACT 27:27 one may translate ‘we were getting close to shore.’
