The term is used for a prohibited mixed material in clothing: one verse specifies wool and linen together, while the other places a garment of mixture among prohibitions involving mixtures.

Senses in use

  1. Mixed material in a garment · dominant

    Both occurrences use the masculine singular absolute noun in clothing prohibitions. In Deuteronomy 22:11 the APB renders the clause "You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen together"; in Leviticus 19:19 it renders "a garment of mixture, mixed stuff, shall not come upon you" within commands that also mention animal breeding and field sowing with a mixture.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clothing prohibition as "cloth of wool and linen together" in Deuteronomy 22:11 and as "a garment of mixture, mixed stuff" in Leviticus 19:19. These phrases confirm the clauses' subject matter rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
