“The same is true when we encounter figures that relate to God’s knowledge — for example, those figures which represent God as repenting or relenting (Gen. 6:6; Exod. 32:12, 14), remembering (Gen. 9:15-16; Exod. 6:5), or forgetting (Ps. 9:18; Ps. 13:1; Jer. 23:39). ‘The God remembered Noah’ (Gen. 8:1). Does God smack His forehead in this passage? ‘Oh, yeah! Noah!’ Or in Exodus 6:5: ‘Man, that was close! I am almost forgot. The covenant!’ The answer for anyone who understands how human languages work is, ‘Of course not.'” (“Foundations of Exhaustive Knowledge” in Bound Only Once, p. 160).
