“You will cast” — a Rosh HaShanah custom of reciting Micah 7 beside water as a picture of God casting sin away

In Scripture World English Bible

He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Micah 7:19 The promise that gives Tashlich its name and central image

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

Isaiah 38:17 Root component — cast uses sh-l-k, the root that gives Tashlich its name, here with sins thrown behind God’s back.
