📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, this verse is part of God's instructions to the Israelites as they were leaving Egypt after the tenth plague, which was the death of the firstborn. It refers to the practice of wearing physical reminders, like symbols on the hand and forehead, to commemorate God's powerful deliverance from slavery in Egypt. This ritual helped the Israelites pass down the story of God's mighty acts to future generations as a way to maintain their covenant identity.
