What does the Bible say about phylacteries?

Answered in 1 source

Phylacteries are small leather boxes containing scripture that Jewish people use to remember God's commandments.

In the Bible, particularly in Exodus 13:9 and Deuteronomy 6:8, phylacteries are described as frontlets to be put between the eyes. They are meant to serve as a physical reminder of God’s commandments and the covenant relationship between God and His people. The practice of using phylacteries by the scribes and Pharisees became a matter of external display rather than sincere observance, as noted by Jesus in Matthew 23:5.
