6 “And jthese words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 kYou shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 lYou shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 mYou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
