Strong's Lexicon shakach: To forget, to neglect Original Word: שָׁכַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1950 (epilanthanomai): To forget, neglect - G2990 (lanthano): To be hidden, to escape notice Usage: The Hebrew verb "shakach" primarily means "to forget" or "to neglect." It is used in the context of failing to remember or disregarding something or someone. This can refer to both intentional and unintentional acts of forgetting, whether it be God's commandments, personal responsibilities, or past events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, memory and remembrance were crucial for maintaining covenant relationships, both with God and within the community. Forgetting, therefore, was not merely a lapse in memory but could signify a breach of covenant or a failure to uphold one's duties. The Israelites were often reminded to remember God's deeds and commandments as a way to maintain their identity and faithfulness.
