Commentary on Numbers 15:39
The fringes' purpose was explicitly preventative—'that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring.' This recognizes humanity's tendency toward spiritual adultery, seeking fulfillment outside covenant relationship with God. The phrase 'your own heart and eyes' identifies the double source of temptation—internal desires and external enticements. The whoring metaphor emphasizes that covenant unfaithfulness is spiritual adultery against God, to whom Israel was betrothed. Visual reminders help combat the constant pull toward idolatry and self-will.
