Why is the Book of Deuteronomy referred to as the Book of Remembrance?

Answered in 1 source

It's called the Book of Remembrance because it recounts the Israelites' 40-year journey and experiences from Egypt to the Promised Land.

The Book of Deuteronomy is referred to as the Book of Remembrance as it serves as a retrospective on the Israelites' journey through the wilderness over the course of forty years. Moses speaks to the second generation of Israelites, reminding them of both their past victories and their encounters with defeat. This historical recapitulation is vital for them to understand where they came from and the lessons learned along the way. It highlights the importance of remembering God’s faithfulness, the consequences of unbelief, and the need for obedience as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, thus ensuring that they do not repeat the mistakes of their forefathers.
