Contextual Overview

5Anything of a man is not on a woman, nor does a man put on the garment of a woman, for anyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH. 6When a bird's nest comes before you in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, [with] brood or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the brood or on the eggs, you do not take the mother with the young ones; 7you certainly send the mother away, and take the young ones for yourself, so that it is well with you and you have prolonged days. 8When you build a new house, then you have made a parapet for your roof, and you do not put blood on your house when one falls from it. 9You do not sow your vineyard [with] two kinds [of seed], lest the fullness of the seed which you sow and the increase of the vineyard be separated. 10You do not plow with an ox and with a donkey together. 11You do not put on mixed material, wool and linens together. 12You make fringes for yourself on the four skirts of your covering with which you cover [yourself].

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt make thee fringes,.... Though a different word is here used from that in Numbers 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 Matthew 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 Numbers 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;

Numbers 15:38- :.
