Did you know that in the Biblical Hebrew culture there was no divide between the idea of heart and mind, metaphorically? One required the other and couldn't be separated as it was once the Greeks came along. This is why the OT verse, "you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might" doesn't also say mind like the Greek does when Jesus quotes this in the NT, "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." I find this fact really interesting. Makes me think.
