Contextual Overview

5 A woman must not wear men's clothes, and a man must not wear women's clothes. The Lord your God hates anyone who does that. 6 If you find a bird's nest by the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting on the young birds or eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young birds. 7 You may take the young birds, but you must let the mother bird go free. Then things will go well for you, and you will live a long time. 8 When you build a new house, build a low wall around the edge of the roof so you will not be guilty if someone falls off the roof. 9 Don't plant two different kinds of seeds in your vineyard. Otherwise, both crops will be ruined. 10 Don't plow with an ox and a donkey tied together. 11 Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together. 12 Tie several pieces of thread together; then put these tassels on the four corners of your coat.

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- :.
