Not forgetting to remember the forget-me-nots
1. Not forgetting to remember the forget-me-nots
The Greek word for "
forget" appears many times in the
LXX (Septuagint) and
GNT (Greek New Testament).
Did you ever put something in a place where you would not forget it and then forget to check that place?
2. Forget-me-nots
The "
forget-me-not" flower has the genus name "
myosotis" from the ancient Greek word
"μυοσωτίς" ≈ "mouse's ear" as the flowers appeared to resemble the ear of a mouse.
In Greek mythology, Zeus had given all the plants names. But then a blue flower spouted off "
forget me not". This then became the name of the flower.
3. Scorpion grass
The forget-me-not is sometimes called "
scorpion grass" since the head of the flower looks similar to the tail of a scorpion.
Not related to the flower, but the Greek word for "
scorpion" is used in the
GNT.
4. Acts 26:26
KJV: For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
Greek: επισταται γαρ περι τουτων ο βασιλευς προς ον και παρρησιαζομενος λαλω λανθανειν γαρ αυτον τι τουτων ου πειθομαι ουδεν ουθεν ου γαρ εστιν εν γωνια πεπραγμενον τουτο

7. Lanthanum
Lanthanum is chemical element number
57 and has abbreviation
La. Lanthanum is a soft ductile silver-white metal. It slowly tarnishes when exposed to air.
Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander first isolated Lanthanum in 1839 as an impurity in cerium nitrate and named it, from the Greek, for being "
hidden".

Fosrenol. It is most often used to treat hyperphosphatemia such as in chronic kidney disease.
A version for cats is produced under the name

9. Peter
The
KJV translates the Greek word for "
escape notice" as "
ignorant".
2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: [kjv]
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: [kjv]
Today, most scientists deny that the flood of Noah ever happened - given the geologic features present today.
The idea in the Greek is that they willingly let it escape their notice.
10. 2 Peter 3:5
KJV: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Greek: λανθανει γαρ αυτους τουτο θελοντας οτι ουρανοι ησαν εκπαλαι και γη εξ υδατος και δι υδατος συνεστωσα τω του θεου λογω
11. 2 Peter 3:6
KJV: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Greek: δι ων ο τοτε κοσμος υδατι κατακλυσθεις απωλετο
12. Peter
Peter uses the same word again a few verses later.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [kjv]
This last verse has the implication that God is outside of time and space as we know it.
We should not let this thing "
escape our notice".
13. 2 Peter 3:8
KJV: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Greek: εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμας αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα κυριω ως χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ως ημερα μια
14. Another form
Another form of the same word for "
escape notice" is the ancient Greek word
"λήθω" ≈ "escape notice".
This form appears in the
GNT. The
KJV often uses "
hid" for the idea of "
escape notice".

KJV: And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

16. Luke 8:47
KJV: And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Greek: ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι ουκ ελαθεν τρεμουσα ηλθεν και προσπεσουσα αυτω δι ην αιτιαν ηψατο αυτου απηγγειλεν αυτω ενωπιον παντος του λαου και ως ιαθη παραχρημα
