Deuteronomy 11:20
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
22 For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
