1. Transitively,
a. to cast upon: τίνι βρόχον, 1 Corinthians 7:35; τίνι τά ἱμάτια, Mark 11:7; (χοῦν ἐπί τάς κεφαλάς, Revelation 18:19, WH marginal reading); to lay upon, ἐπί τινα τήν χεῖρα or τάς χεῖρας, used of seizing one to lead him off as a prisoner: Matthew 26:50; Mark 14:46 R G L; Luke 20:19; Luke 21:12; John 7:30 (L marginal reading ἔβαλεν), 44 (L Tr WH the simple βάλλειν); Acts 5:18; Acts 21:27 (for the Hebrew פ אֶל יָד שָׁלַח..., Genesis 22:12); also τάς χεῖρας τίνι, Mark 14:46 T Tr WH; Acts 4:3 (Polybius 3, 2, 8; 5, 5; Lucian, Tim. 4); ἐπιβάλλειν τάς χεῖρας followed by the infinitive indicating the purpose, Acts 12:1; τήν χεῖρα ἐπ' ἄροτρον, to put the hand to the plow (to begin work), Luke 9:62.
