“Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.”
Proverbs 6:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:21
Bind these commands on your heart, tie them around your neck. The Hebrew 'qashar' (bind) and 'anaq' (tie/necklace) command intimate association with wisdom. Heart-binding indicates internalization; neck-wearing suggests visible identification. Wisdom shouldn't be external rule to consult occasionally but internal reality shaping identity and visible testimony to others. This echoes Deuteronomy 6:6-8's command to bind God's words on hands, foreheads, and doorposts.
