pass over
Fail to consider
Pass over means to skip or disregard something or someone, often in favor of another: She was passed over for the promotion.
The phrase suggests being overlooked or bypassed, sometimes unfairly.
Pass over also means to cross above: The plane passed over the mountains.
In religious contexts, Passover commemorates God passing over Israelite homes during the tenth plague of Egypt.
