Strong's Lexicon shakah: To forget, to neglect Original Word: שָׁכָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1950 (epilanthanomai) - to forget, neglect - G2990 (lanthano) - to escape notice, be hidden Usage: The Hebrew verb "shakah" 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, often with a moral or spiritual implication, such as forgetting God's commandments or neglecting one's duties. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, 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 in relationship or covenant. The act of remembering was often tied to obedience and faithfulness, while forgetting was associated with disobedience and unfaithfulness.
