WEEKLY LESSONS FOR TEENS                 

BY PAUL DITORO 

[Read chapter 13] 

The words of Exodus 13:1-10 & 11-16, then Deuteronomy 6:19 & 11:13-21 are the four O.T. texts from which Phylacteries were made. These passages were written upon pieces of parchment and made into compact little rolls which were encased in tiny boxes and worn as "frontlets" between the eyes and fastened to the left arm above the elbow (closest to the heart), in a literal interpretation of what is commanded in these places. Esses tells us that these passages (Exo. 13:1-16) were always the ones worn on the left arm. The Jewish literalization of the command here at last resulted in some bizarre behavior. The Pharisees of Jesus' time, having a desire to appear righteous in the eyes of men, enlarged the size of these religious ornaments and paraded them publicly as an exhibition of their "holiness."

 

 

"But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make

broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their

garments, and love the chief places at feasts, etc."

(Matt. 23:5, 6).
