Proverbs 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 7:3

Bind them upon thy fingers
Let the above words and doctrines be as ready and familiar as if they were at the fingers' ends; or let them be always fresh in memory, as a piece of thread is tied about the fingers, to put in mind of anything to be done; or let them be as rings upon the fingers, both memorial and ornamental: or put into practice the things taught and commanded; the fingers being the instruments of action, and especially of doing things nicely and accurately; write them upon the table of thine heart;
that they may be strong in the memory, deep in the affection, and abiding in the understanding and will; see ( Proverbs 3:3 ) .

Proverbs 7:3 In-Context

1 My child, remember what I say and never forget what I tell you to do.
2 Do what I say, and you will live. Be as careful to follow my teaching as you are to protect your eyes.
3 Keep my teaching with you all the time; write it on your heart.
4 Treat wisdom as your sister, and insight as your closest friend.
5 They will keep you away from other men's wives, from women with seductive words.
