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:

Verse 39 is found in chapter 15 of Numbers. The man who gathers wood on the Sabbath is brought before the community and receives a sentence according to the divine command. Israel is then instructed to wear tassels on the corners of their garments as a reminder of the commandments. The contrast is significant: the Sabbath episode demonstrates the seriousness of deliberate disobedience, while the tassels provide a daily reminder intended to prevent it.

und sollen euch die Quasten dazu dienen, daß ihr sie ansehet und gedenket aller Gebote des HERRN und tut sie, daß ihr nicht von eures Herzens Dünken noch von euren Augen euch umtreiben lasset und abgöttisch werdet.
Y serviros ha de pezuelo, para que cuando lo viereis, os acordéis de todos los mandamientos de Jehová, para ponerlos por obra; y no miréis en pos de vuestro corazón y de vuestros ojos, en pos de los cuales fornicáis:
Les servirá de borla; al verla recordarán todos los mandamientos de Jehová y los cumplirán, y no seguirán tras su corazón ni tras sus ojos, tras los cuales se prostituyen.
Quand vous aurez cette frange, vous la regarderez, et vous vous souviendrez de tous les commandements de l'Eternel pour les mettre en pratique, et vous ne suivrez pas les désirs de vos coeurs et de vos yeux pour vous laisser entraîner à l'infidélité.
E abbiate quel cordone in su le fimbrie, acciocchè, quando lo riguarderete, voi vi ricordiate di tutti i comandamenti del Signore, e li mettiate in opera, e non andiate guatando dietro al vostro cuore, e agli occhi vostri, dietro a’ quali solete andar fornicando.
E as franjas vos serão para que, vendo-as, vos lembreis de todos os mandamentos do SENHOR, e os cumprais; e não seguireis o vosso coração, nem após os vossos olhos, pelos quais andais vos prostituindo.
你們要佩帶這繸子,好叫你們看見它就記起耶和華一切的命令,並且遵行,不隨從自己內心和眼目的情慾而跟著行淫。
