The Key Word — וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם, u.ke.shar.Tamgenerated
The verb קְשַׁר (qashar) means to tie or bind, and in this context, it conveys the action of securing reminders of God's laws. It is a perfect form indicating a completed action, specifically directed at the second person masculine singular, which means it is addressed to an individual.
This command emphasizes the importance of physically binding these reminders, suggesting a deep commitment to God's teachings. The act of tying serves as a tangible reminder of one's dedication to following God's commands.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם, and you will tie, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a prepositional phrase indicating the purpose of tying — לְא֖וֹת, for a sign — and another prepositional phrase specifying where to tie them — עַל־ יָדֶ֑ךָ, on your hands.
The structure emphasizes the action of tying as central, with the purpose and location providing clarity on how these reminders should be integrated into daily life.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם as αὐτὰ, which means 'these' or 'them.' This choice suggests a direct connection to the physical reminders being discussed, indicating that the translators understood the importance of the tangible aspects of the commandments.
The Greek word σημεῖον for לְא֖וֹת emphasizes the idea of a sign or mark, aligning with the Hebrew meaning but potentially broadening its interpretation to include symbolic significance.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges8. thou shalt bind them for a sign … for frontlets, etc.] See for the exact meanings the notes on Exodus 13:9; Exodus 13:16. As there, so here probably the injunction is to be taken metaphorically and not literally, as the later Jews understood it, though they carried it out not by tattooing, which seems the meaning here, but by writing these words as well as Deuteronomy 11:15-21 and Exodus 13:1-16 on small parchment rolls, enclosing them in metal covers, and wearing them, bound on the arm and brow, at morning prayer. They are called in late Hebrew tephillin and in the N.T. φυλακτἡρια. See E.B. ‘Frontlets.’

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads," which is confirmed by the Septuagint's word-by-word correspondence, indicating agreement in the core message. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly, using "your hands" (ידיך) instead of "your hand" (ידך) and "appendage" (טטפות) instead of "totafot" (טֹטָפֹת), suggesting a variation in terminology. The Dead Sea Scrolls show a mix of agreement and restoration; some manuscripts like 4Q151 and 8Q3 align closely with the Masoretic Text, while others have variations in wording, such as 4Q142's use of "your hands" (ידיך) and 4Q130's partial restorations. Overall, the majority of witnesses, including several from the Dead Sea Scrolls, support the Masoretic Text's phrasing, while noting some differences in specific terms used.

In Scripture used generally of an address to the senses to attest the existence of supersensible and therefore divine power. Thus the plagues of Egypt were "signs" of divine displeasure against the Egyptians (Ex 4:8 ff; Jos 24:17, and often); and the miracles of Jesus were "signs" to attest His unique relationship with God (Mt 12:38; Joh 2:18; Ac 2:22).

The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…

It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…
