2:63

Salaam all,

This is 2:63
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَينكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
Transliteration:
Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakumwarafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthooma ataynakum biquwwatin waothkurooma feehi laAAallakum tattaqoona

Note:
This AYAH says “And as We (GOD) took your assurance and raised above you the mountain (Of Sinai probably). Take what WE (GOD) brought you with strength and remember and mention what is in it. Perhaps you will be self guarding (through GOD consciousness)”

Personal Note:
GOD here reminds the Israelites of the covenant and the fact that He asked them to take what GOD had brought them with strength. An important point is that people should always remember the message from GOD and mention it (to themselves and to others). This memory and mentioning of what comes from GOD are tools that will help people guard themselves through GOD consciousness.
