Malachi 4:4  KJV  "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgements."

Interpretation based on the following study:  Recognize and be mindful, mention and keep with faithfulness, attend carefully and watchfully, to fulfill with vigilance.  Choose to be devoted to the teaching, instruction and the law of God, which is His will for us, that guide, rule and govern inwardly.  He rescued and drew us out, to be marked and owned by God, subject to His will and command, in willing and loving submission to His service.  He remains and keeps us in permanent relationship with Him, where we belong entirely to Him, serving Him in gladness and joy.  Saved by the Lord and made right with Him, He delivered us from condemnation to give us entitlements to certain inheritance.  He accounted and dealt with us as righteous, judicially clearing us of all charges, to vindicate and pronounce us innocent.  He upholds righteousness in all areas of our lives, to follow His example.  In a relationship of equity, justice and agreement, we yearn to conform to all He expects and desires for us, His children, based on special relationship with Him.  He established His rule, to carry out and accomplish the intent of His commission and charge, to give us an inward commitment, not just of external obedience.  We long for the nearness of His Word.  We choose Yehowah, the Highest Most High God, to unify the whole in entirety.  We desire to be ruled by His established counsel and prescription for us, by His right, which belongs to the sphere in which we are in proper relationship to His claim and judgement.
