Bible Comments

Thou shalt remember, to wit, affectionately and practically; and by the compassionate sense of others miseries, thou shalt make it evident that thou hast not forgotten thy own distresses and deliverances. I command thee to do this thing; I having thereby authority to command thee, and thou having obligations on that account, both to obey me, and to pity others in the same calamities which thou hast felt.

Deuteronomy 24:18

18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
