Fringes
The Fringe Element
- 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<Tzitzit תציצ > of the borders a ribband of blue:And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: Numbers 15:38-39
I was asked:
I've been doing some study on the Tzitzits and whether it is a command to wear them if you are non-Jew. The Scripture seems to indicate wearing 4 of them, each corner of your garment, where they can be seen, every day,7 days a week other than sleep time. Any thoughts /your understanding of this would be much appreciated.
By Tzitzits he means the תציצ or tzitzit or tsiytsith pronounced \@tsee-tseeth’ which we see in Numbers 15:38 as fringes or tassel:
- 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:
The word tzitzit [1] is composed of four letters:
- צ ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One the foundation of the world "to hunt." [Harvest pant desire]90
- י YUD The Infinite Point of essential good hidden in the tet. [closed hand... Deed work to make]10
- צ ץ TZADIK The Faith of the Righteous One the foundation of the world "to hunt." [Harvest pant desire]90
- ת TAV Seal of Higher malchut to the keter (crown) through faith linking worlds. [sign cross... seal]400
The word tzitzit is from a word that is said to mean flower.[2] Instead of ending in a Tav like the word tzitzit the word tzitzah ends in the letter Hey. This changes the meaning by adding and removing ideas contained in the letters.
The TAV Seal of Higher malchut to the keter (crown) through faith linking worlds. The letter Hey or ה HEI is connected to the Expression or Thought, Speech, Action. It has to do with the manifesting of things from seeds of thought and life.
If you remove the ending letter you end up with the root word tsiyts ץיצ.[3]
The word is tsiyts ץיצ and is translated flower 10 times and plate 3 times and blossom once but also wings once. The word tsiyts ץיצ is a root word composed of three letters and produces the word tzitzit by adding the letter Tav which is the Mark of God and the letter that means faith.
The word tsiyts ץיצ is also said to be from tsuwts ץוצ [4] which while it has the same letters is assigned a different Strong's number. It is said to mean "to blossom, shine, sparkle" and is translated flourish five times, blossom twice, and bloomed and shewing once each.
Because most words in Hebrew have both a physical and an abstract meaning it is not difficult for the Sophist to unmoore the meaning of the word from the spiritual significance and get the humanist nature of man to focus on the form or ritual rather than its true meaning.
While the word tzitzit only appears a few times in the Bible[5] there is another place we see what appears to be a call for fringes. But another completely different word is used.
Gidel
Gidel only appears as "fringe" once in Deuteronomy 22:12[6] but also as the word wreath in 1 Kings 7 [7]
The word there is gedil לדג .[8]
The three letters that produce this word fringe are Gimel Daleth Lamed:
- ג Gimel Reward and Punish, Cause and effect. Do to others as they should do. Camel[throwstick pride to lift up]3
- ד DALET Selflessness – Charity, back and forth (door) pathway enter... fish)4
- ל LAMED Aspiration of the Heart to learn or direct like a shepherd [Hand prod, staff, whip... tongue]30
These same letters produce several words from Strong's numbers 01431 to 1435 but it is said that these same letters are the root word of gadal לדג [9] which all have a similar meaning to magnify, make greater, nourish up, grow up, etc..
All these words have a meaning of going from a blossom to a flower or nourishing up or making greater or growing.
The hassle with tassels
Is the text really talking about strings of fringe attached to your clothes?
Why blue thread and why four and what is meant by the corners?
Why were people to make altars of clay and stone?
Why were the people to weave the breeches of the Levites?
Why is the Sabbath so significant?
And why do we need to know the name of God when he actually did not have a name but was merely the existing one and Father of all reality?
If we were made in the image of God when we chose to decide for ourselves what was good and what was evil were we made in another image or at least altered by sin?
If we are to be brothers in Christ should we not do what he said and certainly what he commanded?
If we want to be Torah keepers are we sure we know what the Torah was telling us?
The Pharisees thought they knew but evidently missed it some how.
How do we repent and return to the Kingdom of God?
All the attributes of God must unfold in the heart, mind, and body of mankind as the blossom unfolds in a flower. Like pedals on a flower the Tzitzits has four fringes. Those fringes or tassels are only symbolic of those attributes of God that are manifested in the actions of Mankind.
This is why being a doer of the word is emphasized by Christ and the Apostles. We are warned by Jesus, the apostles and the prophets that if we are not doers of the word, ollowers the doctrines of Jesus, add what he commanded, then we are falling short and are in danger of being counted as workers of iniquity. It is the blossoming or the four fringes of our individual covering through or sincerity of our seeking, striving, and perseverance that is key to the Malchut or Kingdom of God. It is not the rituals nor the intellectual Gnostic descriptions and certainly not the superficial interpretations of the precepts upon precepts of the ancient text.
- "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19
What we do or not do, what we desire or not desire is what binds us in and to the world.
If we couple those ideas with be fruitful and multiply or the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 where someone did nothing with what he had to cause an increase and was condemned for it. We should be able to see that it is more important to seek a nurturing approach of love and sacrifice in all things, in all directions of our life than to perform an external physical ritual. Are we under a strong delusion if we imagine our self justified by a ceremonial imitation and symbols rather than the blossoming of true righteousness in doing what the Israelite people did in the days of Moses or the early Christians did in the first century Church.
The Pharisees kept the ritual but abandoned the spirit Moses spoke of and therefore did not know Jesus was the Messiah, the Christ nor would they do what He commanded as the Messiah. They wore their fringes and were called whited sepulchres. If we try in anyway to use the symbols and ritual to justify ourselves before God we will drift away from the message, spirit, and its purpose. We will fail to bloom in the light of the Holy Spirit. Our pride will block our growth in the Holy Spirit.
No one should imagine that by wearing fringes or sowing Breeches or keeping the Sabbath on a special calculated day or even by having Feasts we can be justified before God. If we clinging to the outward form in any way we will drift away from the message of The Way and its purpose and fail to bloom in the light of the Holy Spirit. If we fail to bloom then that is evidence we are not "keeping the Torah" and we will not find the Malchut of the Lord God.
Are we a kingdom sitting down in the tens as commanded by Christ practicing Pure Religion?
Where is the ekklesia, the called out, the Church established by Christ and His Doctrines?
Were is the daily ministration of God provided for the people in love and charity?
Is it in the fringe?
Is it in your words and names and days?
The fringe is how we blossom in the talents and covering God gives us. It is what we do. If we will not do what Christ said then no fringe, nor unmoored ritual will save you anymore than it saved the Pharisees at the fall of Jerusalem.
This is the message of the "fringes". If we think it is about twisty threads on cloth then you have unmoored the wisdom of God from His teachings and the words of the prophets and may be as delusional as the Pharisees.
If you think it is about knots and strings you have fallen for the Sophistry of Satan.
The Breeches to be sown by the people of God for their Levite ministers had nothing to do with underwear and the fringes of our own covering has nothing to do with twisting twine. The word and law of God is Spirit. Let God write upon your hearts and upon your minds.

so you can learn to care about your neighbors rights as much as your own and be bound only by righteousness
through faith, hope and charity and the Perfect law of liberty.
attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
