Toss
Toss
primarily “to fan a fire” (rhipis, “a fan,” cp. rhipe, “twinkling”), then, “to make a breeze,” is used in the Passive Voice in Jam 1:6, “tossed,” of the raising of waves by the wind.
signifies “to be tossed by billows” (kludon, “a billow”); metaphorically, in Eph 4:14, of an unsettled condition of mind influenced and agitated by one false teaching and another, and characterized by that immaturity which lacks the firm conviction begotten by the truth. In the Sept., Isa 57:20.
Note: For “being … tossed,” Act 27:18, See LABOR, B, No. 2.
