Yah our mighty one, gave us a commandment in the torah (law,
instructions first five books of the bible). Stating that we are to wear tassels
/ fringes on the four corners of our Garments. This is done so that we
may look upon the tassels and remember the commandments of YAH.
Numbers 15:37 And YAH spake unto Moses,
saying,
38 Speak unto the children 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 a ribband of blue:
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the YAH, and do them; and that ye seek not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be SET APART unto
YAH.
41 I am YAH your
MIGHTY ONE, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your FATHER: I am
YAH.
Deuteronomy 22:12 Thou shalt make thee
fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou covers thyself.
Yahoshua the Messiah wore fringes
Matthew 9:19 And YAHOSHUA arose, and followed him, and so
did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased
with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him,
and touched the hem of his garment:
The word HEM comes from the Greek word Kraspedon which MEANS A FRINGE OR
TASSEL. (STRONG'S #2899)
Our messiah kept this law.
Some Hebrews teach that we no longer need to wear the Fringes because now
the commandments are in our Hearts as part of the New Covenant. That's
NOT SO, Yah never abolished this law, you will not find one scripture that
says "You shall not wear your fringes because the law in now on your
heart. They misapply Jeremiyah 31: which tells us this:
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith YAH, that I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the
land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, saith YAH:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel; After those days, saith YAH, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in
their hearts; and will be their FATHER, and they shall be my
CHILDREN.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YAH: for they shall all
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YAH: for I
will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Yah says when the new covenant takes effect all Israel will
know him and his laws will be in our hearts. What is meant by this is,
the laws of Yah will be our nature it will be a part of who we are. But
Yah laws is suppose to be on our heart and mind. His laws is
forever on the heart of the righteous.
Deuteronomy 30:14 But the word is
very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Psalms 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his might one is
in his heart; none of his steps shall slide
Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.
Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my
law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them
upon the table of thine heart.
Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know
righteousness, the people in whose heart is
my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their
revilings.
Job 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from
his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
Yah's law is upon our hearts now, and the commandment of the
fringes still remain. You can't use Jeremiyah 31 as an excuse to be disobedient
to Yah. Our fringes should be wore on our garments. Israelite Heritage now have fringes available, check the media page for more information, http://www.hebrewisraelites.org/media.htm .
They are easy
to attach to your clothing. You can pin them on with a safety pin or
have them sewed to your garment. They can be long or short.
YOU MUST WEAR THEM on the four corners of your garment. The corners
are located on the sides. Below I have included a
couple pictures of one of my shirts with Fringes attached to it. This
should give you an idea of how to wear them.

add it to this article, and others can see how we are to keep this
commandment.

Fringes come in all kinds of designs, some are braided together, some
are put into knots and some are long blue hanging strings.
The design is not important, the important thing is that you wear them.
They can be worn on T-shirts .
REMEMBER BROTHERS AND SISTERS THIS IS A COMMANDMENT FROM YAH. Wear them with
the pride of YAH, let them dangle and blow in the wind. Anybody

fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou covers thyself.
