The LORD said to Moses, 'Speak to the Israelites and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. This is to be a sign to remind you of all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes' — the tsitzit (tassels) on garment corners serve as visual reminders of covenant obligation; the blue cord (tekhelet), the color of the heavens, lifts the mind toward God; the tassels recall all God's commandments, connecting daily dress to covenant awareness.
