Tsayatsat have long been worn by the tribes of Yashara’al for a long time to set them apart. At first it seems kind of strange to wear these little strings hanging from your clothing, but then you get that first encounter where someone asks you about them. You get the opportunity to share the Good News with them and there’s no better feeling than planting that seed. It’s also pretty wonderful when you spot one of us in the wild and you smile and say, hey tribe!
There’s question about whether they’re supposed to be all a certain color, some say all white and blue, people wonder what the shade of blue was, if they were 4 fringes or one long fringe around the outer parts of a garment similar to the Native Tribes, and some say only men can wear them. We are given no specifics on color except they need to have one blue cord throughout. We don’t have much photos of history and people actually doing Turah other than the narrative we’re fed. We can only go by the information we have and do the commandments in Ruch/spirit and Truth.
I will say the word used is Ban, and used 4932 times. It’s used as son 2,978x and children 1,568x. The definition also holds that it is a people of a nation. It’s used when Pharaoh was supposed to let the people out of Matsarayam/Egypt. Do you think our Father just meant for the sons/men to be let go? It also is the same word for the Pasach/Passover, were only the men to observe? It’s also used in Shamut (Exodus) 19 for the people entering into covenant before Mashah (Moses) goes onto the mountain to receive the 10 Words/Commandments. Are only the sons supposed to follow? Do you see where this theology can get us in trouble? We need to take things back to the pictograph to find more answers.

Nun is the sprout, seed, offspring, to spread, continue, heir, life, Yahuah given, spiritual. It can also be taken as nachash the serpent, shiny, or reflective.
So if you are within the house/tent of Yashara’al, the family bloodline and you’re the sprout/seed/offspring/heir are we not to keep the Turah and commandments of our loving Abba?
“And Yahuah spoke to Mashah (Moses), saying, Speak to the children of Yashara’al, and you shall say to them to make tsayatsat on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord in the tsytst of the corners. And it shall be to you for a tsayatsat, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the commands of Yahuah and shall do them, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went whoring, so that you remember, and shall do all My commands, and be set-apart unto your Alahyam. I am Yahuah your Alahyam, who brought you out of the land of Matsarayam, to be your Alahyam. I am Yahuah your Alahyam.”
Bamadabar (Numbers) 15:37-41
Again we see the command:
“Make tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.”
Dabarayam (Deuteronomy) 22:12
We see a beautiful testimony who literally took hold of our Mashayach/Messiah and was healed.
“And see, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the tsayatsat of His garment. For she said to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I shall be healed.” But Yahusha turned, and when He saw her He said, “Take courage, daughter, your belief has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that hour.”
Matayatayahu/Matthew 9:20-22 & [Luqus/Luke 8:44]

“And when the men of that place recognised Him, they sent out into all that surrounding country, and brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him to let them only touch the tsayatsat of His garment. And as many as touched it were completely healed.”
Matayatayahu/Matthew 14:35-36
“And wherever He went, into villages, or cities, or the country, they were laying the sick in the market-places, and begged Him to let them touch if only the tsytst of His garment. And as many as touched Him were healed.”
Marqus (Mark) 6:56
There’s an interesting connection in the Hebrew of tsayatsat and kanap.

Malakay (Malachi) 4:2
“Thus said Yahuah of hosts, ‘Peoples shall yet come, inhabitants of many cities, and the inhabitants of the one go to another, saying, “Let us earnestly go and pray before Yahuah, and seek Yahuah of hosts. I myself am going.” And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Yahuah of hosts in Yarushalam, and to pray before Yahuah.’ “Thus said Yahuah of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all languages of the nations take hold, yes, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yahudy, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Alahyam is with you.”
Zakarayah (Zechariah) 8:20-23
It’s a covering to say we are His. An outward reflection of an inward dedication. A sign of covenantal vows.
“When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and I spread the corner of my garment (kanap) over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares Yahuah Adanay, and you became mine.” Yachazqu’al (Ezekiel)16:8
“And he said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Rut, your female servant. Now you shall spread your covering over your female servant – for you are a redeemer.”
Ruth (Ruth) 3:9
“He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge; His truth is a shield and armour.”
Tahlah (Psalm) 91:4
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light, who once were not a people, but now the people of Alahyam; who had not obtained compassion, but now obtained compassion.”
Alap Kayapa’a (1 Peter) 2:9-10
We are called to be His people.
We are called to keep His commandments, loving instructions for His people.
We are called to guard His Shabat & Feasts.
We are Yashara’al. The righteous of Alahyam.
We are redeemed.
