Strong's Concordance
cast down, scatter abroad, throw. A primary verb (perhaps rather akin to the base of rhapizo, through the idea of sudden motion); to fling (properly, with a quick toss, thus differing from ballo, which denotes a deliberate hurl; and from teino (see in ekteino), which indicates an extended projection); by qualification, to deposit (as if a load); by extension, to disperse -- cast (down, out), scatter abroad, throw.
see GREEK rhapizo
see GREEK ballo
see GREEK ekteino
