On Sefaria, I am taking the opportunity to explore words on these some-weekly sheets.
Ok, so today we are going to start with the word עשת, and get a pure translation, better, in my opinion, than the common JPS translation in use on Sefaria.
(ו) וַיִּקְרַב אֵלָיו רַב הַחֹבֵל וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַה לְּךָ נִרְדָּם קוּם קְרָא אֶל אֱלֹהֶיךָ אוּלַי יִתְעַשֵּׁת הָאֱלֹהִים לָנוּ וְלֹא נֹאבֵד.
(6) So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him: ‘What meanest thou that thou sleepest? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will have mercy upon us, that we perish not.’
So we have our first look at the word. It is translated as "have mercy" in my 1985 pocket-ed. JPS. Wrong.
(ה) לַפִּיד בּוּז לְעַשְׁתּוּת שַׁאֲנָן נָכוֹן לְמוֹעֲדֵי רָגֶל.
(5) A contemptible brand in the thought of him that is at ease, A thing ready for them whose foot slippeth.
(ד) תֵּצֵא רוּחוֹ יָשֻׁב לְאַדְמָתוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָבְדוּ עֶשְׁתֹּנֹתָיו.
(4) His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; In that very day his thoughts perish.
(כח) שָׁמְנוּ עָשְׁתוּ גַּם עָבְרוּ דִבְרֵי רָע דִּין לֹא דָנוּ דִּין יָתוֹם וְיַצְלִיחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיוֹנִים לֹא שָׁפָטוּ.
(28) They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; Yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; They plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, That they might make it to prosper; And the right of the needy do they not judge.
(יד) יָדָיו גְּלִילֵי זָהָב מְמֻלָּאִים בַּתַּרְשִׁישׁ מֵעָיו עֶשֶׁת שֵׁן מְעֻלֶּפֶת סַפִּירִים.
(14) His hands are as rods of gold Set with beryl; His body is as polished ivory Overlaid with sapphires.
