Strong's Lexicon
neshi: Forgetfulness, oblivion

Original Word: נְשִׁי
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: nshiy
Pronunciation: neh-shee
Phonetic Spelling: (nesh-ee')
Definition: Forgetfulness, oblivion
Meaning: a debt

Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׁה (nashah), which means "to forget" or "to neglect."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of forgetfulness in the Greek New Testament can be related to Strong's Greek 1950 (epilanthanomai), which means "to forget" or "to neglect."

Usage: The term "neshi" is used to denote a state of forgetfulness or being forgotten. It can imply a sense of neglect or being overlooked, often in a spiritual or relational context. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe a condition where something or someone is no longer remembered or considered.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, memory and remembrance were vital aspects of religious and communal life. Forgetting was often seen as a negative state, associated with neglecting one's duties to God or community. The concept of remembrance is deeply embedded in Jewish traditions, such as the Passover, which serves as a reminder of God's deliverance. Thus, "neshi" carries a connotation of spiritual or moral lapse.
