Berean Strong's Lexicon epiriptó: To cast upon, to throw upon Original Word: ἐπιρίπτω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "on" or "upon") and the verb ῥίπτω (rhiptó, meaning "to throw" or "to cast"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of casting burdens is שָׁלַךְ (shalach, Strong's Hebrew 7993), which means "to throw" or "to cast." Usage: The verb ἐπιρίπτω is used in the New Testament to convey the action of casting or throwing something upon someone or something else. It implies a deliberate act of transferring a burden or responsibility from oneself onto another. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the act of entrusting one's concerns or anxieties to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of casting or throwing was a common physical action, whether in daily life or in various forms of labor and sport. The metaphorical use of casting one's burdens was a vivid illustration for early Christians, who were encouraged to rely on God's providence and care. The concept of transferring burdens was also familiar in Jewish thought, where reliance on God was a central theme.
