| Rav Acha: | If so, that these five 5 are written in God's tefillin
in addition to the verse cited above, then there are too many compartments! Since each verse is inserted into a different compartment, there is a total of 6 compartments instead of 4. |
| Rav Ashi: | Rather, the verse: For which is a great nation...
and the verse: And which is a great nation... which are similar to each other, are in 1 compartment. The verse: Fortunate are you, O Israel... and the verse: And who is like Your people, Israel... are also in 1 compartment. The verse: Or has any god ever miraculously... is in 1 compartment. And the verse: And to make you supreme etc. is in 1 compartment. |
| And all these verses are written in the tefillin that are worn on the arm. | |
