Lev. 19. 19. The Hebrew … is a general word for all mixed things, as the Chald. translateth it, as in beasts, seeds, garments, and the like, and it hath the name of restraint, or prohibition, because such mixtures are forbidden. Aynsw.
The reason of this was, that the order of Nature in the distinct kindes of creatures might be preserved; and with this there was implyed an instruction against mixtures of Religion; as the prohibition of mingling of eed of several sorts, and the wearing of a Linsey-woolsey garment, in this verse, was a document or lesson of simplicity, or sincerity, against double dealing.
