Verse 13 – remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you.
Now that’s a specific word, we just explained that, has to do with the allowance that they can stay on the east side of the Jordan, remember that. But more than that, “remember” is one of the richest, deepest, sweetest, covenantal words in the Bible – And He remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. To be a Christian is to know what things you must remember and what things you must forget.
It is also to know what God always remembers – His promises, His Word, His covenant, and what He forgets – your sins removed as far as the east is from the west. This is a precious word, remember.
