Strong's Lexicon mnémoneuó: To remember, to call to mind, to mention Original Word: μνημονεύω Word Origin: From the Greek root μνήμων (mnémōn), meaning "mindful" or "remembering." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - זָכַר (zakar): To remember, to recall, to call to mind - שָׁכַח (shakach): To forget, to cease to care Usage: The verb μνημονεύω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of remembering or calling something to mind. It can imply both a mental recollection and a verbal mention. The term is often used in contexts where remembering is associated with faithfulness, gratitude, or obedience to God's commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory was highly valued as a means of preserving tradition, wisdom, and cultural identity. In Jewish culture, remembering was a key aspect of religious life, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's deeds and commandments. This cultural emphasis on memory is reflected in the biblical narrative, where remembering God's past actions serves as a foundation for faith and obedience.
