Deuteronomy 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 6:6

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.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Deuteronomy 6:6 In-Context

4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart.
7 Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
8 Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead,
