Remembrance - (Webster's 1828 Dictionary)

REMEM'BRANCE, n.

1. The retaining or having in mind an idea which had been present before, or an idea which had been previously received from an object when present, and which recurs to the mind afterwards without the presence of its object. Technically, remembrance differs from reminiscence and recollection, as the former implies that an idea occurs to the mind spontaneously, or without much mental exertion. The latter imply the power or the act of recalling ideas which do not spontaneously recur to the

mind.

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. Psa 112.

Remembrance is when the same idea recurs, without the operation of the like object on the external sensory.

2. Transmission of a fact from one to another.

Titan among the heav'ns th' immortal fact display'd, lest the remembrance of his grief should fall.

3. Account preserved; something to assist the memory.

Those proceedings and remembrances are in the Tower.

4. Memorial.

But in remembrance of so brave a deed, a tomb and funeral honors I decreed.

5. A token by which one is kept in the memory.

Keep this remembrance for thy Julia's sake.

6. Notice of something absent.

Let your remembrance still apply to Banquo.

7. Power of remembering; limit of time within which a fact can be remembered; as when we say, an event took place before our remembrance, or since our remembrance.

8. Honorable memory. [Not in use.]

9. Admonition.

10. Memorandum; a note to help the memory.

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 2Sa 8:16; 20:24; 1Ki 4:3; 1Ch 18:15 (text "recorder," the Revised Version margin "chronicler"). In Isa 62:6, the Revised Version (British and American) reads, "ye that are Yahweh's remembrancers." the Revised Version (British and American) has frequent changes on the King James Version text, as "have marked" (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.
