“And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”
And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes; -- the literal binding of phylacteries (tefillin) on hand and forehead memorializes the law. The practice emerges from this verse: straps wound around arm and small boxes on the forehead. Physical binding expresses commitment.
