Exegesis
Next, the genitive absolute me proseontos hemas tou anemou {μὴ προσεῶντος ἡμᾶς τοῦ ἀνέμου | mē pros-e-ṓn-tos hē-mâs toû a-né-mou} provides causal background, with mē plus a present participle “not permitting” and the genitive “of the wind” indicating an external obstacle.
In context — Acts 27:7
