Deuteronomy 22:12

New English Translation

¹²You shall make yourselves tassels^[a] for the four corners of the clothing you wear.

Deuteronomy 22:12 tn Heb “twisted threads” (גְּדִלִים, g^edilim) 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.”
