This verb means to overlook, neglect, or disregard—often unintentionally or through oversight. Acts uses it to describe the neglect of Hellenistic widows in the daily distribution. The term suggests not malicious exclusion but failure to notice or give proper attention. It evokes looking past someone, letting them fall through the cracks. The passive form indicates those being overlooked experience the neglect, even if no one intended harm. Systemic neglect can occur without individual malice.
