Strong's Lexicon mneia: Mention, remembrance Original Word: μνεία Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb μιμνήσκω (mimnēskō), meaning "to remember" or "to mention." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of remembrance in Hebrew is often captured by the word זָכַר (zakar), Strong's Hebrew #2142, which similarly emphasizes the act of remembering or mentioning, often in a covenantal or worshipful context. Usage: The Greek word "μνεία" (mneia) is used in the New Testament to denote the act of mentioning or remembering someone or something. It often conveys a sense of thoughtful recollection or commemoration, typically in a positive or prayerful context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory and remembrance were highly valued, often associated with honor and legacy. The act of remembering was not just a mental exercise but a way to maintain relationships and honor the past. In Jewish tradition, remembrance was a key aspect of worship and covenantal faithfulness, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's deeds and commandments.
