Abstract
Abstract:Leviticus 19:19 is often paired with the nearly parallel passage Deut 22:9–11 as the laws of prohibited mixtures. The three standard interpretations are that mixtures are sacred, mixture disrupts the order of creation, and mixture is a metaphor for intermarrying with non-Israelites. Each of the laws, however, is necessary for the proper functioning of the cult and society. I argue that the prohibition against mixed breeding in Lev 19:19 is intended to maintain the distinct breeds needed for cultic and agricultural purposes.
