Hem
Matthew 14:36 “and begged Him they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.” The word hem means tassel, border of a garment, or fringe. It was customary to wear tassels on the corners of the garments for the men throughout their generations. God instructed the Jewish men to make blue thread tassels and put them on the edges of their robes. Numbers 15:38-39 says that they would remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them when they recall the tassels. The woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and healed. How was it possible for the woman to be restored? First, faith in being healed, and if she could touch HIS garment, then she knew healing would ensue. Second, Jesus is the Son of God, so he was part deity and part man, and HE had divine power from HIS FATHER, Almighty GOD. Jesus’s power was used to heal the sick of mind and body. As I have studied more about the hem of the garment of Jesus, it was one complete robe, and when He was on earth, most garments had two pieces during this time in antiquity. Jesus’s garment was like those of the priest one-piece according to John 19:23-24.
Book Excerpt
JUST THE EDGE OF GOD
Did the disciples take the remnant garment or was it the Pharisees and Sadducees? I tend to think it was the Pharisees and Sadducees since they wanted to make other Jews believe Jesus was not the promised Messiah and He did not rise from the dead but was stolen by the disciples. Jesus was the promised Messiah even-though many of the temple priests did not believe in Jesus. Many Pharisees came into the knowledge to believe in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) before His death and after His death on the cross and resurrection. Satan was on duty to make an accusation and denial that Jesus had been raised from the grave so that many would fall into his trap and become his subjects. An article appeared in “Israel Today Magazine”, April 2007, it mentioned the name of Rabbi Kaduri Yitzhak who wrote a note on a piece of paper and proclaimed Yehoshua, or Yeshua (Jesus), is the Messiah before he died and asked for it not be revealed until after his death. The Jewish Orthodox son of the Rabbi said it was not his father’s handwriting and it was blasphemy to state that Jesus was the Messiah. People who were close to the Rabbi definitely said the handwriting was Rabbi Kaduri.3
