Numbers 15:38 (King James Version)
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
- fringes in the borders
- The word {tzitzith} properly denotes an ornament resembling a flower
- From ver. 39, we learn that these were emblematical of the commands of God. That there is any analogy between a fringe and a precept, it would be bold to assert; but when a thing is appointed to represent another, no matter how different, that first object becomes the legitimate representative or sign of the other.
- Deuteronomy 22:12 ; Matthew 9:20 ; 23:5 Luke 8:44
