مَوْج in a sentence

From a fully vowelled text

فَحَدَثَ نَوْءُ رِيحٍ عَظِيمٌ، فَكَانَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ تَضْرِبُ إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى صَارَتْ تَمْتَلِئُ.And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.Mark 4:37, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَإِذَا اضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِي الْبَحْرِ حَتَّى غَطَّتِ الأَمْوَاجُ السَّفِينَةَ، وَكَانَ هُوَ نَائِمًا.And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.Matthew 8:24, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَأَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ قَدْ صَارَتْ فِي وَسْطِ الْبَحْرِ مُعَذَّبَةً مِنَ الأَمْوَاجِ. لأَنَّ الرِّيحَ كَانَتْ مُضَادَّةً.But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.Matthew 14:24, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
