Strong's Lexicon epiballó: To lay upon, to throw upon, to put on, to cast upon Original Word: ἐπιβάλλω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "on") and the verb βάλλω (balló, meaning "to throw" or "to cast"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like שָׁלַךְ (shalach, meaning "to throw" or "to cast") and נָתַן (natan, meaning "to give" or "to put"). Usage: The verb ἐπιβάλλω (epiballó) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of placing or casting something upon another object or person. It can imply a physical action, such as laying hands on someone, or a metaphorical action, such as imposing a burden or responsibility. The term often conveys a sense of intentionality and direction in the action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of laying hands or casting something upon another was a common practice with various implications, ranging from the ceremonial to the judicial. In Jewish culture, laying hands could signify blessing, healing, or the transfer of authority. The use of ἐπιβάλλω in the New Testament reflects these cultural practices, often in the context of Jesus' ministry and the early church's activities.
