Exegesis
Repetition after palin {πάλιν | pá-lin} ’again’ reinforces the methodical verification, and the postpositive de {δέ | dé} ’but’ introduces the contrasting second measurement. This parallel structure conveys the sailors’ systematic seamanship and the imminent risk as the ship nears shore.
In context — Acts 27:28
They took a sounding and found twenty fathoms; then after advancing a little farther , they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms .
