1. To receive and lay up what is conceived by the mind. Thus the Preacher1 would have the young man remember his Creator in the days of his youth: even then, to receive and lay up his word and works for some use, Eccl. 12. 1. 2. To hold fast▪ that which is so laid up. Thus it is most properly opposed to forgetfulness. Remember and forget not, saith Moses to the Israelites, Deut. 9. 7. 3. To call again to mind what hath been forgotten. Thus the Disciples are said to remember what Jesus had said to them, Joh. 2. 22. Jesus in the time of his Ministry had told them that he should rise the third day from the dead: but they forgot it, till the time of his resurrection: Then they remembered it, that is, they called it again to mind. Thus this word is explained, Isa. 46. 8. 4. To think on, and consider that which we have learned: As when we are enjoined to remember God, (Deut 8. 18.) to remember his law, (Mal. 4. 4.) to remember the Sabbath, (Exod. 20. 8.) These and other like things are seriously and frequently to be thought on. Our last English Translators of the Bible do oft translate the original word, which properly signifieth to remember, thus, think on, Gen. 40. 14. Neh. 5. 19. The word remember being here spoken of things that they had before learned, may be applied to the three later distinctions; namely to hold fast, and not forget: or in case they had forgotten to use means of calling to mind again: and frequently and seriously to think on what they had heard of their teachers, and seen to be practised by them.
