"Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shall talk of them
when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up."

"And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes."-Deut. vi: 7, 8.
