The Passover is, like the Law itself, to be on the hand and the forheads of Israel (Exodus 13:16). It is to be like a phylactery attached to the “frontlet between the eyes.”
Eyes are organs of investigation and judgment, and putting the Passover between the eyes means that Israel is to form its judgments about the world through the spectacles of Passover.
