Binding And Writing

Quid est quod Solomon dicit de lege sua: Liga eam in digitis tuis, scribe illam in tabulis cordis tui? Quis enim legem in digitis ligare potest? aut si fecerit, quae erit utilitas? In digitis, hoc est in actibus. Legem in digitis ligat quicunque eam bonis operibus implet et ornat; in tabulis cordis, hoc est in latitudine cogitationis. Scribit ergo legem in tabulis cordis sui, qui eam cum gaudio suscipit, et memoriae commendat. Honorius Augustodunensis, Quaestiones Et Ad Easdem Responsiones In Duos Salomonis Libros, Caput VII Source: Migne PL 172.316a-b

Why does Solomon say concerning the law: 'Bind it on your fingers and write it on the tablets of your heart.' 1 For who is able to bind the law to his fingers? Or if someone could do it, what use would it be? 'On the fingers' means in deeds. He binds the law on the fingers who fulfills and adorns the law with good works. 'On the tablets of the heart,' means in the breadth of one's thoughts. Therefore he writes the law on the tablets of his heart, who receives it with joy and commends it to memory.
