“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you site at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on your doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6: 6-9
