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

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?
