9Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled—both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
Focused Passage
Deuteronomy 22:9
Covenant Order: Neighbor, Creation, and Sexual Holiness
The chapter moves from concrete acts of community care for neighbor and creature (vv. 1–8), through laws protecting created distinctions in the natural order (vv. 9–12), into a sustained legislation of sexual holiness, marital fidelity, and covenant purity (vv. 13–30), grounding neighbor-love and sexual ethics together in the covenant order Israel bears before God.
