You shall make yourselves fringes on the four borders of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.
KJV
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

Thou shalt make thee fringes,.... Though a different word is here used from that in
Num 15:38
, yet the same things are intended, and Onkelos translates both by one and the same word, and which is no other than a corruption of the Greek word used in
Mat 23:5
. Though there have been some, whom Aben Ezra takes notice of, who supposed that this is a law by itself, and to be observed in the night, as that in
Num 15:38
was in the day; but these he warmly opposes, and calls them liars:
upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself; upon the four skirts of the uppermost vesture, called Talith; See Gill on
Num 15:38
.
