TZITZIYOT

Wear them for the right reason:

“That you may remember, and do all My commandments, and be holy to your God.”

Numbers 15: 37-41

לז. וַיֹאמֶר יְהוָֹה אֶל-משֶׁה לֵאמֹר:

Vayomer ADONAI el—Moshe lemor

37 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

לח. דַבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָ אֲלֵהֶם וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִת עַל-כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם לְדֹרֹתָם

וְנָתְנוּ עַל-צִיצִת הַכָּנָף פְּתִיל תְכֵלֶת:

Daber el—b'nei Israel veamarta alehem veasoo lahem tzitzit al—kanfei vigdeihem ledorotam

venatnoo al—tzitzit hakanaf petil techelet

38 Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders [corners] a thread of blue;

לט. וְהָיָה לָכֶם לְצִיצִת וּרְאִיתֶם אֹתוֹ וּזְכַרְתֶם אֶת-כָּל-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם וְלֹא

תָתוּרוּ אַחֲרֵי לְבַבְכֶם וְאַחֲרֵי עֵינֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶם זֹנִים אַחֲרֵיהֶם:

Vehaya lachem letzitzit ooreetem oto oozchartem et—kol—mitzvot ADONAI vaasitem otam velo tatooroo acharei levavchem veacharei einechem asher—atem zonim achareihem

39 And it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, which incline you to go astray;

מ. לְמַעַן תִזְכְּרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֶת-כָּל-מִצְוֹתָי וִהְיִיתֶם קְדשִׁים לֵאלֹהֵיכֶם:

Lemaan tizkeroo vaasitem et—kol--mitzvotai viyhiyitem k'doshim le 'Eloheychem

40 That you may remember, and do all My commandments, and be holy to your God.

מא. אֲנִי יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי

יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם:

Ani ADONAI Eloheychem asher hotzeti etchem meeretz Mitzrayim lihiyot lachem le'Elohim; Ani ADONAI Eloheychem

41 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.

Matthew/Matisyahu 14:34-36

"When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Ginosar. 35 When the men of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick, 36 and they begged him that they might just touch the tzitzit of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole."

Matthew/Matisyahu 9:20 “Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the tzitziyot of his garment...”

Luke 8:44 “She came behind him, and touched the tzitzit of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.”

Mark 6:56 “Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the tzitzit of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.”

Matthew/Matisyahu 23:5 “But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their tefillin broad, enlarge the tzitziyot of their garments...”
