Tzitzith (Four-cornered garment with fringes). Numbers ch.15.
Our four-cornered garments have fringes at the hem.
First of all, the term fringes is a bit misleading since a tallit almost always has a decorative fringe along the two sides. A better term is tassels, which are tied to all four corners of the tallit. They are called tzitzit (or tzitzis or tsitsit or tsitsis) and they are the tallit's raison d'etre. Tzitzits are a biblical requirement for Jewish men when wearing a four-cornered garment. Since four-cornered garments are rarely worn today, Orthodox Jews have a custom of wearing a tallit during prayer and a special garment under (sometimes over) their shirt throughout the day in order to surround themselves with tzitzits. The reason for the commandment of tzitzits is to serve as a constant reminder of the 613 mitzvahs (biblical commandments).
AnswerThe Bible twice commands us to put fringes (tzitzit) on each of the corners of a four-cornered garment.Numbers 15:38: "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garmentsthroughout their generations, and they shall put on the corner fringe a blue (tekhelet) thread."Deuteronomy 22:12: "You shall make yourself twisted threads, on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself."In order to fulfill this commandment - in an age when four-cornered garments are not usually worn - Jews wear the Tallit (Prayer Shawl) during daily morning prayers.The large tallit is alluded to in the Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 17b, and Daniel 7:9.Jews also wear a smaller tallit under their shirts to fulfill this commandment.

Although there are people who belong to the priestly caste in Judaism, there are no priests in modern Judaism. When the Torah is read from, all Jewish men, 13 years old and up, wear a prayer shawl. The prayer shawl is called a Tallit.
It is written in the bible to wear garments with four corners and fringes attached to these corners. wearing a tallit is doing what is commanded.
