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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to throw, cast, spec. to throw off, toss<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cast (1), dispirited (1), laid...down (1), threw (2), throwing off (1), thrown (1), had thrown...down (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4496: ῤίπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ῤίπτω</span></span> and <span class="greek2">ῤιπτέω</span> (<span class="greek2">ῤιπτούντων</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-23.htm">Acts 22:23</a>; on the different views with regard to the difference in meaning between these two forms see <span class="abbreviation">Passow</span>, under the word <span class="greek2">ῤίπτω</span>, at the end; (<span class="abbreviation">Veitch</span>, under the word <span class="greek2">ῤίπτω</span>, at the end Hermann held that <span class="greek2">ῥίπτειν</span> differed from <span class="greek2">ῥίπτειν</span> as Latin<span class="latin">jactare</span> from<span class="latin">jacere</span>, hence, the former had a frequent. force (cf.
