re-mem'-ber, re-mem'-brans: "Remember" is mostly the translation, in the Old Testament, of zakhar, and in the New Testament of mnaomai (
Mt 5:23;
26:75;
Joh 2:17, etc.), and of [@mnemoneuo (
Mt 16:9;
Mr 8:18;
Lu 17:32, etc.), and "remembrance" the translation of derivatives of these (zekher, anamnesis, etc.). There are a few other words. "To remember" is used of God in remembering persons (
Ge 8:1;
19:29, etc.), His covenant (
Ge 9:15;
Ex 2:24;
Eze 16:60, etc.), in answering prayer (Jud 16:28;
Ne 13:14,
22;
Ps 20:3, etc.), and in other ways. Men are exhorted to "remember" God's dealings with them, His commandments (
De 8:2,
18; Jud 8:34;
1Ch 16:12, etc.), the Sabbath (
Ex 20:8), etc. A specially solemn command is that relating to the Lord's Supper in
Lu 22:19;
1Co 11:24,
25, "This do in
remembrance of me." "Remembrancer" (writer of chronicles) occurs in the King James Version margin of

1Sa 15:2); "make mention of" (
Ps 20:7;
77:11;
So
1:4); "remember" for "be ye mindful of" (
1Ch 16:15); "memorial" for "remembrance" (
Isa 57:8); in the American Standard Revised Version, "to his holy memorial name" (
Ps 30:4;
97:12, the English Revised Version "to his holy name," margin "Hebrew memorial' "); in
2Ti 1:5, "having been reminded of" for the King James Version "call to remembrance," etc.
