Exegesis
The objects ta himatia {τὰ ἱμάτια | tá himátia} ‘the garments’ and koniorton {κονιορτὸν | koniortón} ‘dust’ are governed by rhiptountōn and ballontōn respectively, while the prepositional phrase eis tón aéra {εἰς τὸν ἀέρα | eis tón aéra} ‘into the air’ specifies the direction of the dust, enhancing the sense of chaos. In English, the genitive participles are rendered as progressive verbs (“were shouting,” “throwing off,” “casting”) to preserve the ongoing aspect and vividness of the scene.
In context — Acts 22:23
As they were shouting and throwing off their garments, and casting dust into the air.
