Verse 12
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; See Gill on Numbers 15:38 .
