- יָדַע (yada, Strong's H3045): To know, to perceive, often used in contexts of recalling or being aware of something.

These Hebrew terms similarly emphasize the importance of memory and the act of recalling God's works and commandments as a means of maintaining faithfulness and obedience.

Context: The Greek verb ἐπαναμιμνῄσκω appears in the New Testament with the sense of reminding or recalling something to mind. It is a compound word that intensifies the action of reminding, suggesting a repeated or emphatic act of bringing something to remembrance. This term is used in contexts where the speaker or writer seeks to ensure that the audience does not forget important teachings or truths.

In the Berean Standard Bible, this word is used in Hebrews 10:32: "But remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering." Here, the author of Hebrews is urging the recipients to recall their past experiences and the endurance they demonstrated, encouraging them to remain steadfast in their faith despite current challenges.

The use of ἐπαναμιμνῄσκω in this context underscores the importance of memory in the life of faith. It serves as a tool for spiritual encouragement, reminding believers of their past victories and the faithfulness of God. This act of remembering is not merely a mental exercise but a spiritual discipline that strengthens resolve and fosters perseverance.
