(6) And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart; (7) and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you are on your way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. (8) And you shall bind them as sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. (9) And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house, and upon your gates.
