But words of Torah are more important than prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>172. \u201cWhen you lie down,\u201d to conduct himself with fear of his master, with sanctity, with humility, so he is not audacious before his master. \u201cAnd when you rise up,\u201d to praise his lord for returning his soul, since he was in several iniquities before his master, and the Creator dealt mercifully with him and returned his soul to his body. \u201cAnd you shall bind them as a sign on your hand,\u201d on your weak hand, the left hand, which is duller and weaker than the right.
