Sandwiched in between two stories Israel’s rebellion are four curious verses that speak of tassels of blue that the people of Israel must wear. Seemingly out of place, the words actually assure us of profound truths that we must know: We are a holy nation of priests that the Lord has called to himself. And since the Lord is our God, we must remember who we were, act like who we are, and hope in who we will be.
