This verb means to throw or cast something upon, appearing in both literal and metaphorical contexts. In Luke 19:35, disciples throw their cloaks on the colt for Jesus to ride—a literal placing of garments. In 1 Peter 5:7, believers are exhorted to cast all their anxieties on God—a metaphorical transfer of burdens. The Spanish 'echando/habiendo echado' (throwing/having thrown) and French 'jeter sur' (to throw upon) preserve the throwing imagery. Both uses involve placing something on another, whether garments on an animal or cares on God who cares for us.
