Números 15:37-41

Flecos recordatorios

37 El SEÑOR le ordenó a Moisés

38 que les dijera a los israelitas: «Ustedes y todos sus descendientes deberán confeccionarse flecos, y coserlos sobre sus vestidos con hilo de color púrpura.

39 Estos flecos les ayudarán a recordar que deben cumplir con todos los mandamientos del SEÑOR, y que no deben prostituirse ni dejarse llevar por los impulsos de su corazón ni por los deseos de sus ojos.

40 Tendrán presentes todos mis mandamientos, y los pondrán por obra. Así serán mi pueblo consagrado.

41 Yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios, que los sacó de Egipto para ser su Dios. ¡Yo soy el SEÑOR!»
