Strong's Lexicon eklanthanomai: To forget completely, to be utterly oblivious Original Word: ἐκλανθάνομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and λανθάνω (lanthanō, meaning "to forget" or "to be hidden"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of forgetfulness in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with the verb שָׁכַח (shakach, Strong's Hebrew 7911), which means "to forget" or "to neglect." Usage: The verb ἐκλανθάνομαι is used to describe a state of complete forgetfulness or being utterly oblivious to something. It implies a deep level of forgetting, where the memory of something is entirely erased or overlooked. This term is often used in contexts where the forgetting is significant or has important consequences. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory and forgetfulness were significant themes in both philosophy and daily life. Forgetfulness could be seen as a moral failing or a natural human limitation. In the context of the New Testament, remembering God's works and commandments was crucial for maintaining faithfulness, while forgetfulness could lead to spiritual decline.
