Strong's Lexicon hupereidon: To overlook, to disregard, to pass over Original Word: ὑπερεῖδον Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "over" or "beyond") and εἶδον (eidon, meaning "to see" or "to perceive"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hupereidon," the concept of overlooking or passing over is similar to the Hebrew word סָלַח (salach, Strong's H5545), which means "to forgive" or "to pardon." Usage: The verb "hupereidon" is used to convey the act of overlooking or disregarding something. It implies a conscious decision to pass over or not to take notice of a particular matter. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to God's merciful overlooking of human ignorance or sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of overlooking or disregarding was often associated with mercy or leniency. In a judicial context, it could mean choosing not to punish or hold someone accountable for a transgression. This idea is reflected in the biblical usage, where God's forbearance and patience are highlighted as He overlooks past ignorance to bring people to repentance.
