It is used to describe the forbidden practice of sowing different kinds of seeds together, breeding different kinds of animals, or wearing garments made of mixed fabrics, such as wool and linen.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of "kilayim" was part of the broader Levitical laws that emphasized purity, separation, and holiness. These laws were given to the Israelites to set them apart from other nations and to teach them principles of order and distinction. The prohibition against mixing different kinds was symbolic of maintaining purity and avoiding confusion or disorder in God's creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3607.htm">kala</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>two kinds<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>two kinds (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כִּלְאַיִם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] dual</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>two kinds</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb047608.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb047609.gif"> <em>both</em>; Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb047610.gif"> <em>two</em>; perhaps also <font class="hebrew2">כלאי</font> MI<sup>23</sup> <em>both, two</em>, Nö<sup>LCB 1889, 61, cf</sup> Dr<sup>Sm xcii</sup>; Sm u.
