Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַח (shakach), which means "to forget" or "to be oblivious."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of forgetfulness or being oblivious in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the Septuagint and New Testament. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word ἐπιλανθάνομαι (epilanthanomai • Strong's Greek 1950) is often used to convey the idea of forgetting or neglecting. This term appears in passages such as Hebrews 13:16, "And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Usage: This word is used in the context of describing a state of forgetfulness or being unaware. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible but carries the connotation of being heedless or neglectful. Context: The Hebrew word שָׁכֵחַ (shakheach) appears in the context of describing individuals or groups who are in a state of forgetfulness or oblivion. This term is closely related to the verb שָׁכַח (shakach), which is more commonly used in the Hebrew Scriptures to denote the act of forgetting. The concept of forgetfulness in the biblical sense often carries a moral or spiritual implication, suggesting a neglect of duties, commandments, or the remembrance of God's works and laws. In the ancient Hebrew worldview, memory and remembrance were vital for maintaining a covenant relationship with God, and forgetfulness could lead to spiritual decline or disobedience.
