== Biblical source == The obligation of tefillin is mentioned four times in the [[Torah]]: twice when recalling [[The Exodus]] from [[Egypt]]: {{blockquote|And it shall be for a sign for you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the {{LORD}} may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand did the {{LORD}} bring you out of Egypt.|[[Book of Exodus|Exodus]] 13:9}} {{blockquote|And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and as ''totafot'' between your eyes; for with a mighty hand did the {{LORD}} bring us forth out of Egypt.|Exodus 13:16}} and twice in the [[shema]] passages: {{blockquote|And you shall bind them as a sign upon your arm, and they shall be as ''totafot'' between your eyes.|Deuteronomy 6:8}} {{blockquote|You shall put these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall tie them for a sign upon your arm, and they shall be as ''totafot'' between your eyes.|Deuteronomy 11:18}}
