It conveys a sense of violent action and intent to cause harm or destruction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, casting someone down from a high place was a method of execution or punishment. It was a dramatic and public way to demonstrate the power of the ruling authorities or to exact vengeance. The imagery of being thrown down from a height also symbolized a fall from power or grace, a theme prevalent in both Greek and Jewish thought.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/2911.htm">krémnos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to throw over a precipice<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>throw...down the cliff (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 2630: κατακρημνίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατακρημνίζω</span></span>: 1 aorist infinitive <span class="greek2">κατακρημνίσαι</span>; <span class="accented">to cast down a precipice; to throw down headlong</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/4-29.htm">Luke 4:29</a>.
