Remember
To call to mind or remember (something or someone), to think of, recall, or bring to awareness; also, to make mention of, recount, or commemorate; occasionally, to act upon what is remembered. The word can refer to active remembrance in ritual or prayer, verbal mention in speech, or inner recollection. In pi‘el and hiph‘il stems, also refers to causing to be remembered, public commemoration, or record-keeping. Lexically distinct from the related nominal form זָכָר (zâkâr, 'male'), but shares the root as a denominative in a few rare cases.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2142-80
Remember, you men
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd person masculine plural calls for a direct command to multiple males: "remember." The rendering preserves the root sense of active recollection or mindful recall and reflects the masculine plural form with "you men." |
