The Key Word — כִּלְאָ֑יִם, kil.'A.yimgenerated
The term כִּלְאָ֑יִם (kil'ayim) refers specifically to a mixture or two kinds, particularly in the context of agricultural practices. It is a noun that indicates the prohibition against mixing different species, which is a recurring theme in the Torah, emphasizing the importance of maintaining purity in God's creation.
This word appears in the dual form, highlighting the concept of separation and distinction. The parsing indicates that it is a common noun, which reinforces its general application to various types of mixtures that are forbidden, such as in planting, breeding, and fabric.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is תִזְרַ֥ע, you will sow, which governs the entire command. The structure includes a prohibition introduced by לֹא־, not, and a conditional clause beginning with פֶּן־, lest, indicating the consequences of disobedience.
The sentence's flow emphasizes the action of sowing and the resulting holiness of the harvest, with the main clause leading into the consequences of mixing seeds.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, כִּלְאָ֑יִם is rendered as διάφορον, which means 'different' or 'varied'. This translation broadens the concept of mixture beyond just seeds to include any form of diversity that is prohibited.
This choice reflects an interpretative approach that emphasizes the need for separation in various aspects of life, not just agricultural.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Deuteronomy 22:9 instructs the Israelites not to plant their vineyards with mixed seeds. Doing so would defile the entire harvest, both the crop and the fruit of the vineyard. This command emphasizes the importance of maintaining purity in their agricultural practices.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Mixing seeds is prohibited to maintain the purity of God's creation and to symbolize the separation that God desires between different kinds.
A defiled harvest implies that the produce is no longer acceptable or holy, as it has been contaminated by the mixture.
While the specific agricultural practices may differ today, the principle of maintaining purity and separation in our actions and choices remains relevant.
This principle applies to various aspects of life, including relationships, worship, and moral conduct, emphasizing the need for holiness in all areas.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what areas of my life do I need to ensure I am not mixing what should be separate?
- How can I apply the principle of purity from this verse to my daily decisions?
- What does it mean for my personal harvest to remain undefiled?
- How can I encourage others to honor God's commands regarding separation and purity?

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches the Hebrew closely in meaning. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly in wording, using תקדישׁ (be holy) instead of the Hebrew תִּקְדַּ֗שׁ, indicating a different emphasis on holiness. The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment provides partial agreement with the Masoretic Text, showing some words are intact while others are reconstructed.
לֹא־ תִזְרַ֥ע כַּרְמְךָ֖ כִּלְאָ֑יִם פֶּן־ תִּקְדַּ֗שׁ הַֽמְלֵאָ֤ה הַזֶּ֙רַע֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּזְרָ֔ע וּתְבוּאַ֖ת הַכָּֽרֶם׃ ס

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
