Numbers 15:37-41
37 And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
38 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:
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of YHWH, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be set-apart unto your Elohim. 41 I am YHWH your Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: I am YHWH your Elohim.
Moses receives this Law from Yahweh and he is told to command the children of Israel, this includes women & children, to “make them fringes in the borders of their garments” throughout their generations.

What Does a (Locked) Tzitzit Hair Look like?
Using the Tzitzit Hair as a Reference, a Tzitzit needs to be Twisted or Locked or Knotted. The Scripture doesn’t specify how it is to be locked or how to make the Tzitzit.
\Examples of Tassels or Fringes That Are Twisted, Knotted or Locked….
According to Numbers 15:38, Tzitzits are just locks of Fabric, as your hair can be locked. It doesn’t specify a style or number of twists nor number of knots on the Tzitzit. The more twists and knots you add, the fancy it is of course.
I am going to show you how to make your own Tzitzits and how you can change the style and look of them. Keep a look out in the next post.
JEW-WISH STYLE TZITZIT
The Jew-wish people by their own Tradition, which are claimed to have been passed down orally by Moses to them with specific instructions to make their Tzitzit in this fashion….
Tzitzits worn this way is correct according to the fact that they are twisted, knotted and definitely locked. However, it does not need to be in this fashion. Anyone who does it this way is just simply obeying their rules and interpretation. Although the Tzitzits worn by the Jew-wish people are correctly locked, it isn’t placed throughout the “Kanaph” of the Garment, which makes them incomplete by virtue of lack of sufficient amounts of Tzitzits. If you wear JEW-WISH style Tzitzits you just need more of them throughout the whole hem of the garment or add additional knotted, locked or twisted fringes throughout the hem of the garment.
To Learn more about why fringes should be throughout the hem and not just the 4 corners, Read our article about the Hebrew word Kanaph.
