In times of persecution, when the Hebrews were unable to wear identifying symbols, they did tie about their hands a red thread to put them in mind of the blood of the covenant of the Law.
Touching the name, Moses called Ti-Taphoth, which has many etymologies, however, was used in ancient rites and for many different interpretations. The Septuagint (The ancient Greek translation of the Jewish scriptures. An old testament source for early Christians. Credible proof for Messianic prophecy) translates them as immovable ornaments. The Rabbines call them Tephilim, prayer ornaments.[1] .
