Numbers 15:38-41 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

38. "Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall tell them to make for themselves hems at the corners of their cloaks, placing in them ribbons of hyacinth,

39. so that, when they see these, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and they may not follow their own thoughts and eyes, fornicating in various ways,

40. but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.

41. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be your God."
