It conveys the idea of failing to remember or disregarding something or someone, often implying a lapse in attention or care. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to both intentional and unintentional acts of forgetting, whether it be God's commandments, personal duties, or relationships.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, memory and remembrance were vital components of religious and communal life. The act of remembering was often tied to covenantal faithfulness, worship, and the transmission of tradition. Forgetting, therefore, was not merely a cognitive lapse but could signify a breach in relationship or duty, especially in relation to God and His commandments. The Israelites were frequently admonished to remember God's works and laws, as forgetting could lead to idolatry and disobedience.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to gaze<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gaze (1), looking (1), looks (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שָׁגַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Hiph`il</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>gaze</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Ecclus 40:29;
