Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιβάλλω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew verbs like שָׁלַךְ (shalach, Strong's H7993), meaning "to throw" or "to cast," and נָתַן (nathan, Strong's H5414), meaning "to give" or "to put." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of placing or imposing something upon another, akin to the Greek ἐπιβάλλω. Usage: This verb is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often indicating the act of placing something upon something else, whether physically or metaphorically. It can refer to laying hands on someone, imposing burdens, or setting one's mind or attention on something. Context: • Physical Application: In the New Testament, ἐπιβάλλω is used to describe physical actions such as laying hands on someone. For example, in Acts 4:3, it is used to describe the apostles being seized: "They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day."
