Strong's Lexicon mimnéskó: To remember, to recall, to be mindful of Original Word: μιμνῄσκω Word Origin: A prolonged form of a primary verb, μνάομαι (mnáomai), which is used only in certain tenses. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - זָכַר (zakar) - H2142: To remember, to recall, to call to mind. - זִכָּרוֹן (zikaron) - H2146: Memorial, remembrance. Usage: The Greek verb μιμνῄσκω primarily means "to remember" or "to recall." It is used in the New Testament to denote the act of bringing something to mind, being mindful of someone or something, or commemorating an event. This verb can imply both a mental recollection and an active consideration or acknowledgment of a person or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, memory was highly valued as a means of preserving history, tradition, and personal relationships. Remembering was not just a mental exercise but a way to honor and maintain connections with the past. In Jewish culture, remembrance was integral to religious practice, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's deeds and commandments. This cultural emphasis on memory is reflected in the biblical use of μιμνῄσκω, where remembering often carries a sense of covenantal faithfulness and spiritual mindfulness. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 3403 mimnḗskō (from 3415 /mnáomai, "to remember, recollect," NAS dictionary) – properly, recall, bring to mind, remind oneself actively (purposefully); to remember, have in mind, "be mindful of." 3403 (mimnskō) means "actively remember" (i.e. intentionally) – not off-handedly or merely incidentally. [3403 should be treated (semantically) the same as 3415 (mnáomai), so BAGD, J. Thayer – i.e. as by-forms of the same verb (having the same meaning). The high level of personal (self) involvement and personal interest motivating this remembering accounts for why it is always in the Greek middle voice.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom a prim. verb Definition to remind, remember NASB Translation recall (1), remember (13), remembered (8), remembrance (1).
