Bind them continually upon thine heart
Not upon the head or arm, as the words of the law were to be
bound, ( Deuteronomy
6:3 ) ; to which there seems to be an allusion; and which may
confirm the sense of the words given, that this respects the law
of God itself, and the precepts of it, instructed in by parents;
but they should be bound upon the heart, and have an abiding
place in the understanding, affections, memory, and will;
[and] tie them about thy neck;
as an ornament, instead of a necklace of pearl, or chains of
gold; they should be so far from being thought burdensome and
troublesome, that they should be reckoned comely and graceful;
see ( Proverbs
1:9 ) ( Proverbs 3:3
Proverbs
3:22 ) .
Proverbs 6:21
