Of course it doesn't. That's because such matters, like so many details
of religious practice, are not divinely specified. If this verse, I
suppose you mean Deuteronomy 6:8, is intended to be taken literally at
all, God did not choose to specify exactly how these commandments were
to be tied to hands and foreheads because this was a matter for each
person, or each community, to decide for themselves. And that is what
happened; one community's decision on these details has become
traditional Jewish teaching and practice. But what matters to God is not
the details the principle behind it.
