James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Forgetfulness


Subjects in this Topic:

FORGETFULNESS.—Psa_88:12 ‘Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?’ The meaning is general, as Coverdale ‘the londe where all thinges are forgotten,’ but probably more passive than active, that the person is forgotten rather than that he forgets. So Wis_17:3; but in Wis_14:26; Wis_16:11, Sir_11:25 the word expresses the tendency to forget.
