Hebrew Word of the Day: forgive

Soleach - Forgive (סולח) 

This verb is the base for the Israeli phrase "slichah" (סליחה), meaning "forgive / excuse me." It’s often used in the Tanach, closely linked to sholeach - send (שולח) and shocheach – forget (שוכח). 

Catch the poetic connection in both sound and theme?  God forgives (soleach) our sins, sends (sholeach) them as far as east is from west, and then forgets (shocheach) they even happened!

I thought that was pretty neat.
