:::You fail to address the central point: What is grammatical for "He said, 'Be still'" should be equally valid for "He judged, 'Be still'" or "He meant, 'Be still."--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 16:30, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

::::And you fail to include "to the sea" in your "translation". To elaborate further:
::::*καὶ εἶπεν τὴν θάλασσαν could be translated as "He judged the sea", it cannot be translated as "He said the sea"
::::*καὶ εἶπεν Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο could be "He judged ''Silence, be still''" or "He said ''Silence, be still''. But we have
::::*καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο We cannot say "He judged to the sea ''Silence, be still''", it works only as "He said to the sea ''Silence, be still''
::::Dictionaries give us various translations which works in the appropriate contexts. To quote you: "that's basic"
