Numbers 15:38 gives the original command for tassels with a blue cord; Deuteronomy 22:12 restates it.

Numbers 15:39 explains the tassels' purpose: to remind Israel to obey God's commandments, adding theological context to the law.

In Matthew 23:5, Jesus condemns Pharisees for enlarging their tassels to appear pious, contrasting with the law's intent.

In Matthew 9:20, the woman touches the tassel (fringe) of Jesus' garment, the very tassels commanded here, showing Jesus wore them.

In Mark 6:56, people touch the fringe of Jesus' garment for healing, the same tassels prescribed in this law, highlighting their significance.

In Luke 8:44, the woman touches the fringe of Jesus' garment — the same tassels commanded in Deuteronomy 22:12, showing Jesus fulfilled the law.
