שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁכֹּחַ מָה שֶׁעָשָׂה לָנוּ – שֶׁנִּמְנַעְנוּ מִלִּשְׁכֹּחַ מָה שֶׁעָשָׂה עִמָּנוּ עֲמָלֵק, כְּלוֹמַר, הַתְחָלָתוֹ לְהַזִּיק לָנוּ, וְעַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר בְּפָרָשָׁה זוֹ שֶׁל עֲמָלֵק (דברים כה יט) לֹא תִּשְׁכָּח. וְכָתוּב בְּסִפְרֵי זָכוֹר בַּפֶּה, לֹא תִּשְׁכָּח בַּלֵּב, כְּלוֹמַר לֹא תַּשְׁלִיךְ שִׂנְאָתוֹ וְלֹא תְּסִירָהּ מִנַּפְשְׁךָ בְּעִנְיָן שֶׁתִּשְׁכַּח אוֹתָהּ.

מִשָּׁרְשֵׁי הַמִּצְוָה וְכָל עִנְיָנָהּ כָּתוּב בְּמִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה שֶׁלּוֹ שֶׁבְּסֵדֶר זֶה (מצוה תרג), וְקָחֶנּוּ מִשָּׁם וְתַרְוֶה צִמְאוֹנְךָ.
