Deuteronomy 22:12

Deuteronomy 22:12

Thou shalt make thee fringes
Though a different word is here used from that in ( Numbers 15:38 ) , yet the same things are intended, and Onkelos translates both by one and the same word, and which is no other than a corruption of the Greek word used in ( Matthew 23:5 ) . Though there have been some, whom Aben Ezra takes notice of, who supposed that this is a law by itself, and to be observed in the night, as that in ( Numbers 15:38 ) was in the day; but these he warmly opposes, and calls them liars:

upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself;
upon the four skirts of the uppermost vesture, called Talith; (See Gill on Numbers 15:38).
