ἀγνοέω
agnoéō · Greek · Strong's G50 · 22 occurrences
The KJV renders 2 different Greek words as “ignorant”
What it means
not to know (through lack of information or intelligence); by implication, to ignore (through disinclination)
from G1 (Α) (as a negative particle) and G3539 (νοιέω);
How the KJV renders it
ignorant, not know, not understand, unknown
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“ignorant”
also renders idiṓtēs (G2399)
“unknown”
also renders ágnōstos (G57)
