Rev., border. The fringe worn on the border of the outer garment, according to the command in Num 15:38. Dr. Edersheim (“Life and Times of Jesus”) says that, according to tradition, each of the white fringes was to consist of eight threads, one of them wound round the others; first seven times, with a double knot; then eight times with a double knot; then eleven times with a double knot; and, lastly, thirteen times. The Hebrew characters representing these numbers formed the words Jehovah One.
