The
Lord said to Moses: “Speak to the Israelites, and tell them to make
fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations
and to put a blue cord on the fringe at each corner.1
You have the fringe so that, when you see it, you will remember all
the commandments of the Lord and do them, and not follow the lust of
your own heart and your own eyes.2
So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and you shall be
holy to your God. 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.”
