"And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates"—Deuteronomy 6:9.
We are commanded to place mezuzahs on our doorposts.
"Write this song for yourselves"—Deuteronomy 31:19.
Every male is required to acquire a complete Torah Scroll for himself. Better yet if he can write one himself—then it is considered "as if he received it from Sinai"!
One cannot suffice with a scroll that he inherits from his father or ancestors, rather one must write or acquire one oneself.
