DON’T MIX WOOL AND LINEN
An unusual law that makes sense when we understand the reason for it is one that says not to mix wool and linen fabric. I believe there is this physical reason for this law, but a spiritual reason as well. If Yahuwah instructs us not to do something, then we need to not do it, whether we see a reason or not, because all of His law is valid until heaven and earth pass away. But it helps us to understand these things as well.Leviticus 19:19 King James Version
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
I’ll first give two quick reasons for the cattle and the seed restrictions. Firstly, and the most important reason, as it relates to not imitating the practices of the pagans, is that the pagans mixed certain seeds or animals believing they would magically give them a better harvest. They did not do it to make better genetics, but to combine one pagan god’s special plant with another god’s plant, and produce energy to increase fertility and prosperity. Yahuwah does not want His people imitating them, but wants them to trust and obey Him.
The other ‘reason’ may not even be one of Yahuwah’s ‘reasons’, but it’s something to consider. Mixing breeds of cattle will produce versions that are different from Yahuwah’s pure creation, and He likely wants to keep His breeds pure and set-apart, like His people are to be. Mixing seeds creates hybrids, and when the seeds the hybrids create are planted, they don’t produce the same quality of fruits or vegetables – they may not produce at all. Heirloom seeds will produce after their kind, but hybrid seeds will not. The same thing happens when animals are cross-bred - they can't reproduce. But it is believed that the reason for this commandment has to do with purity in the spiritual realm more so than the physical realm, to keep pureness and not water-down Yahuwah’s creation.
Many of the things that Yahuwah forbids are things that the pagans practiced in those days (many still do) and His reason not to do them is to not imitate the works of darkness, to be set-apart from them (be holy means set-apart for Yahuwah), and to get His people to move away from the pagan practices. Keep that in mind when I talk about the next few subjects.
Many believe (and may be correct) that He doesn’t mind us combining two types of the same species, such as two different breeds of cows, or two different breeds of dogs, or two different kinds of broccoli, etc., but doesn’t want us to combine a cow with a donkey, or broccoli with asparagus, and things like that. Those animal combinations don’t normally re-produce anyway, but maybe man shouldn’t have combined lions with tigers, horses with donkeys, horses with zebras. Honestly, I don’t know who is correct on that one, but I try to understand and obey. Dog breeds are mostly a combination of different breeds that they register as a new breed, and we cannot avoid that at this point, but if I raised animals I would not cross-breed them intentionally. We have let the dogs cross-breed a few times in the past, without remembering the law about this or understanding it, but I will not do it now that I know. I’d rather not do it than go ahead and do it and find out it displeases Yahuwah.
The Jews even argue over some of these things but they say that to study Torah and seek to understand it is a form of honoring or ‘guarding’ the commandments. Some of them we cannot keep, such as the ones about the legal system, because we do not live in a place that uses that legal system, but we can still study Yahuwah’s word and learn what He says about these subjects.
Let’s look at the subject of combining wool and linen.
Deuteronomy 22:11 King James Version
11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
These translations word it in a way that is easier to understand:
ASV
Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
AMP
You shall not wear a fabric made of wool and linen blended together [a fabric pagans believed to be magical].
AMPC
You shall not wear a garment of mingled stuff, wool and linen together.
CSB
Do not wear clothes made of both wool and linen.
CEB
Don’t wear clothes that mix wool and linen together.
CJB
You are not to wear clothing woven with two kinds of thread, wool and linen together.
CEV
When you weave cloth for clothing, you can use thread made of flax or wool, but not both together.
These make it clear that it is not forbidden to mix fabrics in general, but just don’t mix wool with linen.
I just recently learned a reason behind this (although Yahuwah doesn’t need a ‘reason’ of our understanding to justify His laws – we should obey them because He says to, and many of His reasons are probably to keep us ‘set apart’ for Him.) The pagans believing this to be magical would be one reason – to not imitate what they do but rather expose them.
But in 2003 a Jewish doctor named Heidi Yellen did a study on the frequencies of fabric. She wrote in an email in 2012: "Frequency was determined by a technician Ivanne Farr who used a digital instrument designed by a retired Texas A&M professor called the Ag-Environ machine. We had a public demonstration with an audience at internationally known artist Bob Summers home.” Fabric gives off a frequency that can be measured in mHz (megahertz) with that machine. Healthy people have a frequency of 100 mHz. If they wear clothing with a frequency of less than 100 mHz, it will drain them of energy and can bring on illness. A frequency of more than 100 mHz will energize them and promote healing as well.
Organic cotton’s frequency is 110 Mhz, so it’s is nearly neutral to wear, yet a little on the positive side. Polyester’s frequency is around 10 mHz. This fabric is not good for you. A diseased person has about a 15 mHz frequency, and so does rayon and silk. I love silk sheets because it feels so good, like a second layer of skin, and had planned to get some, until I read about this. Even though silk is a natural product, it goes through changes during processing that affect it negatively.
Wool and Linen (flax cloth) each have a frequency of 5,000 mHz! Each by itself can greatly promote healing and energy, but wool is itchy and often too hot. Linen (flax cloth) was found to greatly accelerate the healing process when placed over a wound or a painful area! However, if wool and linen are used together, they cancel out each other and have a frequency of 0 mHz! That is zero! It may be because wool’s energy field flows from left to right, and that of linen flows from right to left. So, the healing and energizing properties of linen are zero if used with wool, and can be harmful to you, yet 5,000 when used alone and can be wonderful for you! That is amazing! And Yahuwah made it this way and tells us not to mix them, way back when there were no meters to measure the frequencies with.
So, then I planned on getting flax (linen) sheets, so we could promote healing while we slept, and a friend told me that it gives you so much energy at night that it’s more difficult to relax and sleep! She humorously mentioned that it may be of benefit to older couples that need some perk to their sex lives! I’m so confused now that I don’t know what kind of sheets to use! I guess I’ll stick with cotton, because it is near neutral as well as comfortable, and I’ll plan on getting some flax clothing to wear during the daytime.
It can actually be fun to study on what the reasons for many of the ‘laws’ are – not boiling a goat in its mother’s milk, not mixing crops in a field, not gleaning the edges of a field, resting a field every 7th year, etc. Christians insist that the ‘law of Christ’ is only to love Yahuwah and our neighbors, and just concentrate on love and we’ll be okay, and they think that will automatically cover all of Yahuwah’s laws without studying and learning them, but it does not. How many Christians do you know who will automatically obey the above laws I just mentioned?
