וְהָיוּ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם--עַל-לְבָבֶךָ
וְשִׁנַּנְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ, וְדִבַּרְתָּ בָּם, בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ בְּבֵיתֶךָ וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ בַדֶּרֶךְ, וּבְשָׁכְבְּךָ וּבְקוּמֶךָ
Continuing on to verses 6 & 7, you will notice an echo (or reiteration) of the previous verse (5). 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
The flow of the verses - again - is an inside to outside movement beginning with a person's heart followed by teaching the word of God to one's children (household), followed finally by taking the word of God out on to the streets. One could say - in all that you do remember these commandments - impress them always not only upon your own heart but also the hearts of your family members as well as where ever you go. And finally, remember these commandments before you lie your head down at night and remember when you first arise in the morning.
