Contextual Overview

5 There shall not be the thing of a man on a woman, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah your God. 6 If a bird's nest happens to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, with young ones, or eggs; and the mother is sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young. 7 But in every case you shall let the mother go, and take the young for yourself, so that it may be well with you, and you may prolong your days. 8 When you build a new house, then you shall make a guard rail for your roof, so that you do not put blood on your house if someone falls from it. 9 You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seeds, that the fruit of your seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard not be defiled. 10 You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together. 11 You shall not wear a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together. 12 You shall make for yourself tassels on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,.... The Jews say nothing is forbidden under the name of sorts but what is spun and wove, as it is said, "thou shalt not wear sheatnez", a thing that is carded, spun, and wove l; which Ainsworth translates "linsie woolsie", and is explained by what follows: as "of woollen and linen together"; of which :-, whereas Josephus m observes, this was granted to the priests only to wear such garments. Bochart n affirms it to be false; but that great man is mistaken; the blue, purple, and scarlet, in the priests' garments, were no other than dyed wool; and it is a sentiment in general received by the Jews, that the priests wore no other but woollen and linen in their service; see the note on the above place; otherwise this law is so strictly observed, as not, to sew a woollen garment with linen thread, and so on the contrary o.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare the marginal reference. The prohibition of Deuteronomy 22:10 was also dictated by humanity. The ox and the donkey being of such different size and strength, it would be cruel to the latter to yoke them together. These two animals are named as being those ordinarily employed in agriculture; compare Isaiah 32:20.
