There follows a rather enigmatic sentence that contains no clear ritual reference, but the phrase “symbolic reminder on our clothes” likely refers to the “fringes” or “tassles” that were to be worn on clothes according to Num 15:38–39 and Deut 22:12 (Num 15:38: κράσπεδα ἐπὶ τὰ πτερύγια; Deut 22:12: στρεπτὰ … ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων κρασπέδων τῶν περιβολαίων σου). The oblique reference to the fringes in Aristeas comports much better with the Numbers passage, which also connects the fringes with remembering: “And the Lord spoke to Moyses saying: … And let them make for themselves fringes on the hems of their garments throughout their generations, and you shall put on the fringes of the hems a blue thread.
