Strong's Lexicon neshi: Forgetfulness, oblivion Original Word: נְשִׁי 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. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom nashah Definition a debt NASB Translation debt (1).
