hurling, violent throwing; forceful propulsion through the air
A noun appearing only in Isaiah 22:17, where the Lord warns a corrupt official that he will be 'hurled' or thrown violently. The phrase uses an intensive verbal construction with this noun: 'hurling you with a hurling, O man.' Some scholars prefer to re-divide the Hebrew words to create an absolute infinitive instead, but the traditional reading emphasizes the force and violence of divine judgment. This single occurrence makes the image of being thrown like a projectile a vivid picture of God's active removal of the unworthy.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Isaiah 22:17 uses this term in a pronouncement of judgment against Shebna, a royal steward. The Spanish 'hurling' and the translations across languages capture the violent force of being thrown or cast away. The intensive construction ('hurling with a hurling') emphasizes the certainty and power of God's judgment—Shebna will be forcefully removed from his position. 1×
