The word “remember” always includes the idea of looking back. But the reason for looking back is also important. In verse 15, Moses tells them to remember (that is, “do not forget”) that they had been slaves in Egypt and that God redeemed them (delivered; 7:8). One of the most powerful motivations to right living is to use the “rememberer” correctly—as, for example, when Christians observe the Lord’s Supper every Sunday (1 Corinthians 11:23-29).
