Few of the Jews kissing with their hands the little box filled with a tiny scroll actually read or remember what it actually says. Below is the English translation reminding us the importance of remembering God's commands .
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one![a] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.7 You 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 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.7 You 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 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
New King James
Version (NKJV)
13 ‘And it
shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today,
to love the Lord your God and
serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then I[a] will give you the rain for
your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may
gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 And I will
send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ 16 “Take heed
to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other
gods and worship them, 17 lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He
shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce,
and you perish quickly from the good land which theLord is giving
you.
18 “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in
your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they
shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 You shall teach them to your
children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the
way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20 And you shall write them on
the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 that your days and the days of
your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lordswore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the
earth.
