Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
You must not wear clothing made from different kinds of materials mixed together, like wool and linen woven into the same fabric.
This verse instructs the Israelites not to wear garments that combine different types of fibers, specifically wool and linen together.
📚 Historical Context
In the time of Moses, God gave the Israelites a set of laws in Deuteronomy to guide them as a holy nation distinct from the surrounding pagan cultures. This specific command about not wearing garments made of mixed fabrics, like wool and linen together, was part of broader instructions on purity and separation, possibly to symbolize the importance of maintaining order and avoiding confusion in their daily lives. These laws helped the Israelites reflect God's holiness and remain set apart as His chosen people.
