    DefinitionShort: of a person’s own hands
    Glosses: one’s own hands
    Comments: But in rendering {S:04402701900008}, it may be somewhat superfluous or even misleading to speak about throwing over the ships tackle ‘with their own hands.’ The emphasis is not upon the hands so much as the activity of the people aboard the ship. Therefore, one may better translate {S:04402701900008} as ‘they themselves threw the ships tackle overboard.’ Obviously, more than the hands were employed in this activity.
