Strong's Lexicon nasheh: To forget, to cause to forget Original Word: נָשֶׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׁה (nashah), which means "to forget" or "to cause to forget." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of forgetting in the Greek New Testament can be found in words like ἐπιλανθάνομαι (epilanthanomai - Strong's Greek 1950), which also means "to forget." Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasheh" primarily conveys the idea of forgetting or causing to forget. It is often used in contexts where there is a deliberate or consequential act of forgetting, whether it be a memory, a person, or an event. This term can also imply a sense of neglect or disregard. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, memory and remembrance were vital aspects of religious and communal life. Forgetting, therefore, could carry significant implications, especially in the context of covenant relationships with God. The act of forgetting could symbolize a break in relationship or a failure to uphold one's duties and responsibilities. Conversely, causing someone to forget could be seen as a form of mercy or relief from past burdens.
