Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Klauda, as it is a specific geographical location mentioned in the New Testament Greek text.

Usage: Klauda refers to a small island located off the southern coast of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. It is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of Paul's journey to Rome.

Cultural and Historical Background: Klauda, also known as Cauda or Gaudos in ancient texts, was a minor island in the Roman Empire's maritime routes. It was strategically significant for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean. The island provided a temporary shelter for ships caught in storms, as was the case during the Apostle Paul's voyage to Rome. The region around Crete, including Klauda, was known for its unpredictable weather and strong winds, which posed challenges to ancient seafaring.
