Throw!
| Root | βάλλω (ballō) |
| Core Meanings | throw, cast, hurl, put, strike, lay |
| Semantic Range | to throw or cast physically; to hurl with force; to put or place; to lay down; to strike; to thrust; in extended usage, to cause or bring about |
| Conceptual Significance | βάλλω frequently underlies vivid action imagery in the New Testament—casting nets, throwing stones, casting out demons—conveying decisive movement or forceful initiative. In imperative form, it often signals urgent obedience or immediate action in narrative and teaching contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MAI2,S). The aorist imperative conveys a summary or decisive command; active voice indicates the subject performs the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form βάλε is aorist active imperative, second person singular, expressing a direct and decisive command. "Throw!" preserves the core force of βάλλω (to cast or hurl) and reflects the aorist imperative’s sense of a simple, complete action commanded of one person. |
