tul describes throwing something or someone toward, into, or away from a place, including the casting of a lot.

The occurrences chiefly describe forcefully throwing an object, a person, or even wind toward or into a specified place; related contexts depict people being hurled away onto another land and a lot being cast. Passive forms also describe the result of being cast or cast down.

1. Throwing toward or into a destination · dominant

   Hiphil forms mark an active act of throwing: in 1 Samuel 18:11 the APB renders Saul's action toward David as hurling a spear, while in Jonah 1:12 Jonah tells the sailors to cast him into the sea. The same action is directed at the sea in Jonah 1:4, Jonah 1:5, and Jonah 1:15, where wind, ship's articles, and Jonah are respectively cast or thrown there.

2. Hurling away or casting down · common

   In Ezekiel 32:4, a first-person Hiphil imperfect is used in the clause the APB renders, "I will cast you on the land." Isaiah 22:17 and Jeremiah 16:13 portray forceful removal, while Jeremiah 22:28 and Psalm 37:24 use passive forms in clauses rendered as being "hurled and cast" or "cast down."

3. Casting a lot · rare

   In Proverbs 16:33, a Hophal imperfect occurs in the clause the APB renders, "The lot is cast into the bosom," identifying a casting action whose object is the lot.

   Proverbs 16:33

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies among "hurled," "cast," "throw," and "cast down" in these clauses, and renders the Proverbs context with a lot "cast into the bosom." Because the APB translates whole verses rather than aligning individual words, those English variations do not by themselves establish separate meanings.
