Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the New Testament for similar actions is "βάλλω" (ballō - Strong's Greek 906), which also means to throw or cast.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "tul" primarily means to hurl, cast, or throw. It is used in contexts where an object is forcefully thrown or cast away. This action can be both literal, such as throwing a physical object, or metaphorical, such as casting away one's burdens or sins.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of throwing or casting could symbolize rejection, judgment, or the removal of something unwanted.
