37 The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them that they shall make for themselves (A)tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a [a]violet thread. 39 It shall be a tassel for you [b]to look at and (B)remember all the commandments of the Lord, so that you will do them and not [c]follow your own heart and your own eyes, [d]which led you to prostitute yourselves, 40 so that you will remember and do all My commandments and (C)be holy to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”

Tassels on Garments
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the people of Israel, and tell them to (A)make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner. 39 And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, to do them, (B)not to follow[a] after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined (C)to whore after. 40 So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and be (D)holy to your God. 41 (E)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the Lord your God.”
