Strong's Lexicon ekballo: To cast out, to drive out, to send out, to expel Original Word: ἐκβάλλω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb βάλλω (ballo, meaning "to throw" or "to cast"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of casting out is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), which means "to go out" or "to come out." Usage: The Greek verb "ekballo" primarily means to cast out or drive out. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often referring to the expulsion of demons, the sending out of laborers into the harvest, or the removal of individuals from a place. The term conveys a forceful action, often implying authority and power over the object being cast out. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural and historical context of the New Testament, "ekballo" is frequently associated with Jesus' ministry, particularly in His authority over unclean spirits. The act of casting out demons was a demonstration of divine power and a sign of the coming of God's kingdom. In the Greco-Roman world, exorcism was not uncommon, but Jesus' authority and method were distinct, emphasizing His divine nature and mission.
