Strong's Lexicon hupomimnéskó: To remind, to bring to remembrance Original Word: ὑπομιμνῄσκω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ὑπό" (hupo, meaning "under" or "by") and "μιμνῄσκω" (mimnéskó, meaning "to remind" or "to remember"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hupomimnéskó," the concept of remembering or reminding is present in Hebrew words such as "זָכַר" (zakar, Strong's H2142), which means "to remember" or "to recall." Usage: The verb "hupomimnéskó" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of reminding or bringing something to someone's memory. It implies a gentle or deliberate act of causing someone to recall information or teachings that they have previously learned or known. This term is often used in contexts where the writer or speaker is encouraging the audience to remember important spiritual truths or instructions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, oral tradition and memory played a significant role in the transmission of knowledge and teachings. Teachers and philosophers often used reminders to reinforce learning and ensure that their students retained important information. In the context of the early Christian church, reminding believers of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles was crucial for maintaining doctrinal purity and encouraging spiritual growth.
