Proverbs 7:3

Bind them on your forearm; ¹  write them on the tablet of your heart. ² 

De 6:8,9; De 11:18-20; Pr 3:3; Pr 6:21; Isa 30:8; Jer 17:1; Jer 31:33; 2Co 3:3

¹ tn Heb “fingers” (so KJV and many other English versions). In light of Deut 6:8, “fingers” appears to be a metonymy for the lower part of the arm.

² sn This is an allusion to Deut 6:8. Binding the teachings on the fingers and writing them on the tablets here are implied comparisons for preserving the teaching in memory so that it can be recalled and used with ease.
