This command is not merely agricultural but symbolic of purity and separation. In ancient Israel, planting was a significant act of stewardship over God's creation. The directive to not plant mixed seeds underscores the importance of maintaining purity and order as ordained by God.<p><b>your vineyard</b><br />The term "vineyard" in Hebrew is "kerem," which refers to a place of growth and fruitfulness. Vineyards were central to the economy and culture of ancient Israel, symbolizing prosperity and blessing. Spiritually, a vineyard can represent one's life or ministry, where God expects growth and fruitfulness according to His standards.<p><b>with two types of seed</b><br />The phrase "two types of seed" translates from the Hebrew "kilayim," meaning mixed kinds. This prohibition against mixing seeds is a metaphor for maintaining spiritual and moral purity. It reflects God's desire for His people to be distinct and not to adopt the practices or beliefs of surrounding nations, which could lead to spiritual compromise.<p><b>if you do</b><br />This conditional phrase introduces the consequence of disobedience. It serves as a warning that actions contrary to God's commands have repercussions. The choice to obey or disobey is presented clearly, emphasizing personal responsibility in maintaining holiness.<p><b>the entire harvest</b><br />The word "harvest" in Hebrew is "tevuah," which signifies the yield or produce of the land. In a broader sense, it represents the results of one's labor and life. The integrity of the harvest is contingent upon adherence to God's laws, illustrating the principle that spiritual compromise can taint the fruits of one's efforts.<p><b>will be defiled</b><br />The Hebrew word for "defiled" is "qadash," which means to be set apart or made unclean. This term indicates that mixing seeds leads to a loss of sanctity. In a spiritual context, it warns against allowing impurity to infiltrate one's life, which can lead to a loss of divine blessing and favor.<p><b>both the crop you plant</b><br />This phrase highlights the immediate consequence of disobedience. The "crop" refers to the specific seeds sown, symbolizing one's actions and decisions. The defilement of the crop serves as a reminder that disobedience affects not only the present but also the future outcomes of one's choices.<p><b>and the fruit of your vineyard</b><br />The "fruit" represents the long-term results and legacy of one's life. In Hebrew, "peri" denotes fruitfulness and productivity. The defilement of the vineyard's fruit underscores the far-reaching impact of disobedience, affecting not just the individual but also the community and future generations. This serves as a call to uphold God's standards to ensure lasting spiritual fruitfulness.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/deuteronomy/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9-11) These precepts appear also in <a href="/leviticus/19-19.htm" title="You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle engender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come on you.">Leviticus 19:19</a>, more briefly.<p>(9) <span class= "bld">Defiled</span>--or <span class= "ital">sanctified. </span>Different crops become "common" at different times. The year's corn was freed by the wave-sheaf and wave-loaves. The trees not for five years. The rule about the ox and the ass may rest partly on the ground of humanity, the step and the pull of the two creatures being so very unlike. St. Paul gives a spiritual sense to the precept in <a href="/2_corinthians/6-14.htm" title="Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?">2Corinthians 6:14</a>. "Be not <span class= "ital">unequally yoked </span>together with unbelievers." The ox was a clean animal and fit for sacrifice. The ass was unclean, and must be redeemed with a lamb. The clean and unclean must not till the holy land of Jehovah together.<p>All these precepts are part of the laws of holiness in Leviticus--rules of behaviour arising from the fact that Israel is the special people of a holy God.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 9-11.</span> - (Cf. <a href="/leviticus/19-19.htm">Leviticus 19:19</a>.) God has made distinctions in nature, and these are not to be confounded by the mixing of things distinct. The ox and the ass were chiefly used in husbandry; but, as they were of different size and strength, it was not only fitting that they should not be yoked to the same plough, but it might be cruel so to yoke them. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/22-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Do not</span><br /><span class="heb">לֹא־</span> <span class="translit">(lō-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb -
