Contextual Overview

5 "A woman must not wear men's clothing. And a man must not put on women's clothing. For the Lord your God hates whoever does these things. 6 "You might find a bird's nest by the road, in a tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs. If you find the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young. 7 Be sure to let the mother go. But you may take the young for yourself. Then it will go well with you, and you will live long. 8 "When you build a new house, you should put a short wall around your roof. Then no one will fall from it and bring the guilt of blood upon your house. 9 "Do not plant among your vines another kind of seed. All that grows from what you have planted will be unclean. 10 Do not plow with a bull and a donkey together. 11 Do not wear clothing made of both wool and linen together. 12 "Make tassels to put on the four corners of the clothing you use to 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- :.
