Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ links the second aorist eiasan {εἴασαν | e-í-a-san} ‘they allowed’ with the infinitive ekpesein {ἐκπεσεῖν | ek-pe-seîn} ‘to drift away,’ expressing the permitted outcome. English uses past tense verbs (“cut off,” “let”) for narrative flow and renders the genitive as either “of the boat” or “boat’s ropes” to convey ownership.
In context — Acts 27:32
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let it drift away.
