Pilot
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
(חֹבֵל, chobel, Ezekiel 27:8; Ezekiel 27:27-29), literally a steersman, a mariner, is also rendered in our version (Jonah 1:6) "ship-master;" but in the passage in Ezekiel it is used in a figurative sense for the chief rulers or counsellors of the Tyrians. (See SHIP).
