This concept of remembering by tying a string around your finger comes from Numbers 15:37-39
The Holy Bible English version for the Deaf
The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them these things: I will give you something to remember my commands. Tie several pieces of thread together and tie them in the corner of your clothes. Put a piece of blue thread in each one of these tassels. You mush wear these things now and forever. You will be able to look at these tassels and remember all the commands that the Lord has given you.
