epilanthanō

The standard lexica treat the verb as a single word with a two-pole range rather than as homonyms. BDAG partitions it into (1) "fail to remember, forget" (Matt 16:5; Mark 8:14; Jas 1:24) and (2) "neglect, care nothing about, overlook, disregard, be unmindful of" (Phil 3:13; Heb 6:10; 13:2; 13:16), with the perfect passive in Luke 12:6 taken as a genuine passive ("be forgotten"). Louw-Nida formalizes the split across two semantic domains (memory and recall; and neglect/care). Seesemann (TDNT IV) and Balz (EDNT) argue that the Pauline and Hebrews usage carries the full covenantal freight of Hebrew shakach, whose LXX equivalent is almost always this verb (roughly 170 times per Hatch-Redpath; see Muraoka's LXX lexicon, which lists "fail to recall," "fail to attend to, neglect," and passive "be beyond the concern of"). A recurring lexicographical observation, from Thayer through BDAG and the Hebrews commentators, is that with the genitive object (all three Hebrews occurrences) the volitional sense predominates; the accusative and complementary-infinitive constructions tend toward ordinary forgetting, with Phil 3:13 a noted exception. Commentators (Lane, Attridge, Ellingworth on Hebrews; Moo, Johnson on James; Fee, O'Brien, Silva on Philippians) are near-unanimous that the volitional pole is in view outside the Synoptic bread scenes.
