ACTS 22:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,”
And as they were crying out and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air — the crowd's violent gestures (removing cloaks, throwing dust) signify ritual mourning or protest against blasphemy. The dust-throwing may invoke the curse formula against heretics.
