Like the impression of the phylacteries (tephilin) of the hand, which correspond to the heart... like a seal upon your arm, like the phylacteries of the head which are dangling, straps to all sides – unto the heart and the arm, and through them they are inscribed, for they are the People of ‘the blessed Holy One’.
And furthermore: Place me as a seal – this is the seal of the sign of the holy covenant of circumcision, and it is the sign of the covenant of the holy Sabbath and festivals.
... for love is as strong as death... (ibid.) – harsh is the separation, of the blessed Holy One and the Shekhinah, from Israel, as the separation of the soul and spirit and animating-soul, from the body.
