Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
from Revenge on the Amalekites, Deuteronomy 25:17-19
What it says

Israel is told to remember what Amalek did on the journey out of Egypt.

What it is doing

It begins with commanded remembrance of a past wrong.

In context

17Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt, 18how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God. 19When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
