Strong's Lexicon rhiptó: To throw, cast, hurl Original Word: ῥιπτό Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is Strong's Hebrew 7993 (שָׁלַךְ, shalak), which also means to throw or cast. Usage: The Greek verb "rhiptó" primarily means to throw or cast something with force. It conveys the action of hurling or tossing an object, often with a sense of urgency or decisiveness. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal and metaphorical actions of casting or throwing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the act of throwing or casting was a common physical action, whether in daily life, sports, or military contexts. The term "rhiptó" would have been understood by contemporary audiences as a vigorous and intentional action. In a biblical context, this word often carries a deeper spiritual or symbolic meaning, reflecting the decisive actions of God or individuals in response to divine instruction or intervention.
