         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of ἐκπτύω ‘to spit out,’ not occurring in the NT) to reject, with the implication of a measure of disdain

         Glosses: ['to reject', 'to have disdain for']

         Comments: In a number of languages ‘to reject’ is expressed idiomatically as ‘to throw away,’ ‘to push away,’ or ‘to turn one’s back toward.’
