          <hebrew>וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר:
דַּבֵּר אֶל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם
צִיצִת עַל כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם לְדֹרֹתָם,
וְנָתְנוּ עַל צִיצִת הַכָּנָף | פְּתִיל
תְּכֵלֶת: וְהָיָה לָכֶם לְצִיצִת,
וּרְאִיתֶם | אֹתוֹ, וּזְכַרְתֶּם | אֶת
כָּל מִצְוֹת יְהֹוָה, וַעֲשִׂיתֶם | אֹתָם,
וְלֹא תָתֻרוּ אַחֲרֵי לְבַבְכֶם וְאַחֲרֵי
עֵינֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם זֹנִים
אַחֲרֵיהֶם: לְמַעַן תִּזְכְּרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם |
אֶת כָּל מִצְוֹתַי, וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים
לֵאלֹהֵיכֶם:</hebrew>
          <english>&lt;b&gt;The Lord spoke to Moses&lt;/b&gt; and gave him instructions &lt;b&gt;to tell&lt;/b&gt; the Jewish Nation. God said: &lt;b&gt;Speak to the Children of Israel and tell them that they should make tzitzit for themselves,&lt;/b&gt; which they should hang &lt;b&gt;on the four corners of their garments.&lt;/b&gt; This is something that should be done at all times; it is a commandment &lt;b&gt;for all their generations. They should attach a blue string to the tzitzit on each corner.&lt;/b&gt; All the threads hanging together &lt;b&gt;will be tzitzit for you.&lt;/b&gt; Tzitzit are worn as a reminder, &lt;b&gt;and when you will look at these&lt;/b&gt; tzitzit, &lt;b&gt;you will remember all the commandments of the Lord.&lt;/b&gt; This is because the numerical value of the Hebrew word tzitzit is 600. Adding the 8 threads and 5 knots, found on each corner, totals 613—the number of commandments in the Torah. Remembering the commandments will cause &lt;b&gt;you to fulfill them.&lt;/b&gt; Then &lt;b&gt;you will not wander after&lt;/b&gt; the desires of &lt;b&gt;your hearts and&lt;/b&gt; the temptations &lt;b&gt;your eyes&lt;/b&gt; see. Wandering &lt;b&gt;after&lt;/b&gt; your desires causes &lt;b&gt;you&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;b&gt;stray&lt;/b&gt; from the path of Torah. Look at the tzitzit, &lt;b&gt;so that you will remember and do all of My commandments.&lt;/b&gt; Through this, &lt;b&gt;you will be holy to your God.&lt;/b&gt;</english>

          <text>1 Praising God and thinking deeply about His greatness is like a &quot;double-edged sword&quot;: it removes a person&apos;s negative behavior (thoughts, speech, and actions), and it also eliminates negative character traits.</text>

          <text>Alternatively, the lower edge of this spiritual &quot;double-edged sword&quot; serves to cut ourselves off from lowly, unholy matters, while the upper edge helps eliminate arrogance.</text>

          <text>2 The first step of falling down in the service of God is when a person lacks the light of Torah study. This causes one to live in &quot;darkness,&quot; which leads a person to be &quot;cold&quot; toward the performance of commandments (&quot;Dever&quot; can refer to a sickness where one&apos;s limbs become cold). It is then that one becomes &quot;heated&quot; up and excited about worldly pleasures instead of holy things (&quot;ketev&quot; can refer to a high fever).</text>

          <text>3 &quot;Plague that goes around in the darkness&quot; refers to a disease that makes a person as cold as night; &quot;plague that goes around in the afternoon&quot; refers to a disease that causes a fever as hot as the afternoon sun. The evil inclination is associated with both forms of disease: It tries to &quot;cool us off&quot; in an attempt to prevent us from studying the Torah and fulfilling its commandments with warmth and enthusiasm, and it also tries to &quot;heat us up&quot; and arouse excitement for worldly matters. We trust that God will assist us and protect us from the evil inclination so that we will not succumb to these spiritual maladies.</text>
