Strong's Lexicon apeidon: To look away, to overlook, to disregard Original Word: ἀπεῖδον Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb εἶδον (eidon, meaning "to see" or "to look"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apeidon," the concept of overlooking or disregarding can be related to Hebrew terms such as עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which can mean to pass over or to overlook, often used in the context of forgiveness or mercy. Usage: The verb "apeidon" is used to describe the act of looking away or disregarding something. In the context of the New Testament, it often implies a deliberate choice to overlook or not focus on something, whether it be an offense, a fault, or a distraction. This term can convey a sense of intentionality in choosing not to give attention to certain matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of looking away or disregarding something could be seen as a sign of wisdom or self-control, especially in philosophical contexts where the focus was on maintaining inner peace and not being swayed by external circumstances. In Jewish culture, overlooking an offense could be seen as an act of mercy or forgiveness, aligning with the teachings of the Torah on love and compassion.
