Strong's Lexicon Titsi: Tassel, fringe Original Word: תִּיצִי Word Origin: Derived from the root צִיץ (tsits), meaning "blossom" or "flower." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of tassels is "κράσπεδον" (Strong's Greek 2899), which is used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 9:20, where a woman touches the "hem" or "fringe" of Jesus' garment. Usage: The term "titsi" refers to the fringes or tassels that were commanded by God to be worn on the corners of garments by the Israelites. These tassels served as a physical reminder of the commandments and the covenant between God and His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the wearing of tassels on garments was a significant practice commanded by God in the Torah. According to Numbers 15:38-39, the Israelites were instructed to make tassels on the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. This practice was intended to remind the Israelites of all the commandments of the LORD, encouraging them to live holy lives and not follow after their own hearts and eyes. The tassels symbolized a visible commitment to God's laws and a reminder of their identity as God's chosen people.
