Deuteronomy 22:12
Context22:12 You shall make yourselves tassels 2 for the four corners of the clothing you wear.
1 tn Heb “Watch yourselves lest your heart turns and you turn aside and serve other gods and bow down to them.”
2 tn Heb “twisted threads” (גְּדִלִים, gÿdilim) appears to be synonymous with צִיצִת (tsitsit) which, in Num 15:38, occurs in a passage instructing Israel to remember the covenant. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tassels here as well. Cf. KJV, ASV “fringes”; NAB “twisted cords.”
