The threads that hang together shall be tzitzit for you. Tzitzit serve as a reminder, and when you look upon these tzitzit, you will recall all the Lord's commandments.

Recalling the commandments will lead you to fulfill them. Then you will not follow after the longings of your hearts and the allurements your eyes behold.
