Strong's Lexicon anamimnéskó: To remind, to call to remembrance Original Word: ἀναμιμνῄσκω Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb μιμνῄσκω (mimnéskó, meaning "to remind" or "to remember"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the root זָכַר (zakar), which means "to remember" or "to recall." This root is frequently used in the Old Testament to emphasize the importance of remembering God's covenant and commandments. Usage: The verb ἀναμιμνῄσκω is used to denote the act of reminding or bringing something to mind. It implies an active process of recalling information or events that may have been forgotten or overlooked. In the New Testament, it often carries the connotation of spiritual or moral reminders, urging believers to remember God's truths, promises, or past actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory and the act of remembering were highly valued, especially in oral cultures where storytelling and recitation were primary means of preserving history and tradition. The concept of remembrance was also significant in Jewish culture, where remembering God's deeds and commandments was central to religious life. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of ἀναμιμνῄσκω in the New Testament as a call to spiritual mindfulness and faithfulness.
