Deuteronomy 22:12 KJV also says:
“Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.”
So the fringes served several purposes:
They reminded Israel to
remember and obey the commandments.
They marked Israel as a
set-apart people with a covenant responsibility.
The
blue ribband/thread represented obedience, holiness, and heavenly order.
They were worn on the
borders or corners of the garment, making the reminder visible in everyday life.
In simple terms, fringes were like a daily spiritual reminder: every time an Israelite saw them, they were reminded to walk righteously and keep the laws of the Most High.
