Then the Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: Throughout the generations to come you must make tassels for the hems of your clothing and attach them with a blue cord. When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do. The tassels will help you remember that you must obey all my commands and be holy to your God.
Numbers 15:37-40
The blue of the Israeli flag is 'Tekhelet' blue. This is the blue of the prayer shawls described here in the Jewish book in the Torah which in English is called Numbers.
What is the significance of clothing? A one level, it is of no significance, to the extent that modern fashion is fast approaching nudity. The peoples of New Guinea got their first. In the verse clothing is given a special function to stimulate memory. Thoughts, affected behaviours and emotions. Across the world attire is full of meaning.
PRAYER: Every morning I clothe myself in the attire you give me.
