Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not used in the Hebrew Bible.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1459 (ἐκλανθάνομαι • eklanthanomai): This Greek term means "to forget" and is the antonym of the concept of remembering. While שָׁיָה suggests keeping in memory, ἐκλανθάνομαι indicates the act of forgetting. The interplay between remembering and forgetting is a common theme in both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, emphasizing the importance of memory in maintaining faithfulness to God and His covenant.

Usage: The term שָׁיָה is not directly used in the canonical Hebrew Bible texts. It is a theoretical root that suggests the concept of remembering or keeping in memory.

Context: The Hebrew term שָׁיָה (Shayah) is a hypothetical root that is not explicitly found in the Hebrew Bible. It is suggested to mean "to keep in memory" or "to remember." This root is part of the broader semantic field related to memory and remembrance in the Hebrew language. While the specific term שָׁיָה does not appear in the biblical text, the concept of remembering is significant throughout the Scriptures. The act of remembering is often associated with God's covenant with His people, as seen in various passages where God remembers His promises and acts accordingly. The idea of memory is also crucial in the context of worship and the recounting of God's deeds, as the Israelites are frequently called to remember the works of the Lord and His commandments.
