To hurl, cast, or throw with force. Used for violent casting — hurling into the sea, throwing from a height, or being flung into exile. The word conveys decisive, powerful action, often by God Himself as He judges nations or rescues His people through dramatic intervention.
Tul reveals God as the One who acts decisively. Jonah was hurled into the sea (Jonah 1:12), yet it was precisely through this violent casting that God accomplished salvation — both Jonah's and Nineveh's. Micah 7:19 uses this word to declare that God will 'hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.' What seems like destruction becomes deliverance.
