Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates.

Contextual Overview

⁴ Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord: ⁵ And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. ⁶ Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts; ⁷ Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up. ⁸ Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow; ⁹ Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns. ¹⁰ And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building; ¹¹ And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full; ¹² Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house. ¹³ Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And these words, which I command thee this day,.... To hearken to, observe, and take notice of, that God is one, and is to be loved in the strongest manner that possibly can be:

shall be in thine heart; on the table of the heart, as the Targum of Jonathan; see 2 Corinthians 3:3, be cordially received, have a place in the affections of the heart, and be retained in mind and memory.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 6:6. Shall be in thine heart — For where else can love be? If it be not in the heart, it exists not. And if these words be not in the heart - if they are not esteemed, prized, and received as a high and most glorious privilege, what hope is there that this love shall ever reign there?
