Deuteronomy 22:12 Meaning and Commentary

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).

Deuteronomy 22:12 In-Context

10 Don't let an ox and a donkey pull the same plow together.
11 Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen that are woven together.
12 Make tassels on the four corners of the coat you wear.
13 Suppose a man gets married to a woman and makes love to her. But then he doesn't like her.
14 So he tells lies about her and says she's a bad woman. He says, "I got married to this woman. But when I made love to her, I discovered she wasn't a virgin."
