==History and use== thumb|Illustration of various tassels, from A Handbook of Ornament, by Franz Sales Meyer thumb|Tassels of a bed from Paris, circa 1782–1783, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City) In the Hebrew Bible, the Lord spoke to Moses instructing him to tell the Israelites to make tassels (Hebrew tzitzit) on the corners of their garments, to help them to remember all the commandments of the Lord and to keep them (Numbers 15:37-40), and as a sign of holiness. The religious Hebrew tassel, however, bears little resemblance to the decorative one which appeared and eventually became popular in Europe, especially France and Spain.
