In the Hebrew Bible, it is associated with the commandment given to the Israelites to wear tassels on the corners of their garments as a reminder of God's commandments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, clothing held significant symbolic meaning. The tassels, or "gedilim," were a physical reminder of the covenant between God and His people. They were to be worn on the four corners of one's garment, often with a blue cord, symbolizing the heavenly origin of the commandments. This practice was a daily, visible reminder to live according to God's laws and to maintain a distinct identity as God's chosen people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1431.htm">gadal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>twisted threads<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tassels (1), twisted threads (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גְּדִלִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>twisted threads</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">גְּדִיל</font>, Babylonian <i><em>gidlu</em></i>, <em>cord</em> on which onions were strung, <em>a string</em> of onions, Zehnpf<sup>BAS i. 511</sup>;
