G4496 ῥίπτω (rhíptō)

Greek
Verb
‹ G4495 Greek Dictionary G4497 ›

Quick Definition

ῥίπτω v. I throw, cast, toss

Strong's Definition

to fling (properly, with a quick toss, thus differing from G906 (βάλλω), which denotes a deliberate hurl; and from (see in G1614 (ἐκτείνω)), which indicates an extended projection); by qualification, to deposit (as if a load); by extension, to disperse

Derivation: a primary verb (perhaps rather akin to the base of G4474 (ῥαπίζω), through the idea of sudden motion);

KJV Usage: cast (down, out), scatter abroad, throw

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ῥίπτω [page 564] throw off, throw away : cf. P Tebt 1.48 .23 ( c . B.C. 113) ῥίψαντα τὸ ἱμάτιον εἰς φυγὴν ὁρμῆσαι , so that he threw away his garment and took to flight (Edd.), P Ryl II. 125 .25 (A.D. 28 9) ἐκκενώσας τὰ προκείμενα ἔριψεν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μου τὴν πυξίδα κενήν , having rifled the contents aforesaid he threw the box empty into my house (Edd.). Both AV and RV adopt this meaning in Act_22:23 , but Field ( Notes , p. 136), who is followed by various commentators, prefers the rendering shake, throw about, as if the verb = ῥιπτάζω : cf. the medical use in connexion with convulsive fits, etc., as illustrated by Hobart p. 2. For the perf. pass., as in Mat_9:36 , cf. P Petr II. 19 (2) .3 (iii/B.C.) καλῶς οὖμ ποιήσεις ἐ [πι ]στροφήν [μου π ]οιησάμενος , ἔρρειμαι γὰρ κακῶς διακείμενος ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνου , and for the form ῥιπτέω see Radermacher Gr . p. 84.
