Strong's Lexicon emballó: To throw in, to cast into, to put in Original Word: ἐμβάλλω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "into") and the verb "βάλλω" (ballo, meaning "to throw" or "to cast"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "emballó," the concept of casting or throwing is present in several Hebrew words, such as "שָׁלַךְ" (shalach, Strong's H7993), which means to throw or cast. Usage: The verb "emballó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of throwing or casting something into a particular place or situation. It often conveys a sense of force or decisiveness in the action. The term can be used both literally, as in casting something into a physical space, and metaphorically, as in introducing an idea or concept into a discussion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of casting or throwing was a common metaphor for decisive action. The imagery of casting something into a space was often used in literature and rhetoric to describe the introduction of new elements or the decisive intervention in a situation. This cultural understanding would have been familiar to the original audience of the New Testament.
