Numbers 15:37-39
New Catholic Bible
37 Tassels on Garments.[a] The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the people of Israel and tell them to have tassels on the corners of their garments throughout all their generations. Let them put a blue cord on the tassels of each corner. 39 When you look at the tassels, you will remember the commandments of the Lord and keep them. Thus you will not prostitute yourselves by following after the lusts in your own heart or your own eyes.
Footnotes
- Numbers 15:37 These tassels are not simply ornaments but a symbol that calls to mind the commandments of God. That is why Jews attach so much importance to them (Mt 9:20; 23:5).
