DEUTERONOMY 25:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore it shall be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.”
Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; do not forget — the command is paradoxical: remember to forget, inscribe Amalek's erasure. 'Blotting out' (mechiyah) is the ultimate punishment; the nation that embodied covenant-breaking shall be erased from history.
