G4496

ῥίπτω

rhíptō

/hrip'-to/

Definition

to fling (properly, with a quick toss, thus differing from G0906, which denotes a deliberate hurl; and from (see in G1614), which indicates an extended projection); by qualification, to deposit (as if a load); by extension, to disperse

Derivation

a primary verb (perhaps rather akin to the base of G4474, through the idea of sudden motion);

KJV usage

cast (down, out), scatter abroad, throw.
