Four Biblical passages are inserted in the Tefillin:
* Kadesh ("Sanctify to Me," Exodus 13, 1-10).
In this passage, G-d blesses the Children of Israel that they may be a holy nation even in the Desert.* V'haya ki y'viacha ( "And when He brings you," Exodus 13, 11-16).
Here G-d blesses the Children of Israel that they may be a holy nation when they enter the Land of Israel.* Shema ("Hear O Israel," Deuteronomy 6, 4-9).
This verse speaks of the unity of G-d.* V'haya im shamo'a ("And if you hearken," Deuteronomy 11, 13-21).
This verse stresses the responsibility of fulfilling the commandments.
