To cast or throw (Aramaic); of persons hurled into punishment; also to place/set, or figuratively to impose tribute
An Aramaic verb dominating the dramatic narratives of Daniel, where it describes the terrifying act of casting people into the fiery furnace or the lions' den. The Pe'al, Pe'il, and Hithpe'el stems together account for ten of its twelve occurrences, all involving the physical hurling of persons as punishment (Dan 3:6, 11, 15, 20, 21, 24; 6:8, 13, 17, 25). Spanish 'arrojamos/echaron' (we hurled/they threw) and French 'jeter' (to throw) consistently render this violent casting. Two extended senses appear: the solemn 'placing' of thrones in Daniel 7:9, and the figurative 'imposing' of tribute in Ezra 7:24.
Senses
1. cast, throw (persons) — To cast or throw persons into a place of punishment -- the dominant sense in Daniel's court narratives. Used repeatedly for hurling men into Nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace (Dan 3:6, 11, 15, 20, 21, 24) and into Darius's lions' den (Dan 6:8, 13, 17, 25). The Hithpe'el passive ('shall be cast') appears in the royal decrees threatening punishment, while the Pe'al active describes the actual throwing. Spanish 'arrojamos' (we hurled) and 'para-arrojar' (in order to throw) convey the violent, forceful action. 10×

2. place, set — To place or set in position, a quieter Pe'il (passive) sense distinct from violent throwing. Daniel 7:9 uses it for thrones being 'placed' or 'set up' in the heavenly court scene -- a deliberate, solemn positioning rather than forceful casting. Spanish 'fueron-puestos' (were placed) captures this dignified nuance, contrasting sharply with the punitive throwing of the primary sense. 1×

3. impose (figurative) — To impose or lay upon figuratively, specifically the burden of tribute or taxation. Ezra 7:24 uses the infinitive to describe the prohibition against 'imposing' tax on temple servants. Spanish 'imponer' (to impose) and English 'to impose' both reflect the metaphorical extension: what is 'thrown upon' someone becomes an obligation or financial burden rather than a physical projectile. 1×
