Halakhah for Megillah 35:12

קראה על פה לא יצא וכו': מנלן אמר רבא אתיא זכירה זכירה כתיב הכא והימים האלה נזכרים וכתיב התם (שמות יז, יד) כתב זאת זכרון בספר מה להלן בספר אף כאן בספר

(Mishnah:) If he read it by heart, he has not fulfilled his obligation. (Gemara:) From where do we know this? Rava said, "This is learnt from the word <i> Zechirah</i>, which appears in two places. It is stated here [in the Megillah] 'And these days are <b>remembered</b>', and it is stated there (Exodus 17:14) 'Write this as a <b>remembrance</b> in the book.' Just as there, where the word <i> 'remember' </i> means in a book, so too here, it means that we 'remember...these days' from a book."
