Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 22:11
11. thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts—The essence of the crime ( :-) consisted, not in wearing a woollen and a linen robe, but in the two stuffs being woven together, according to a favorite superstition of ancient idolaters (see on :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 22:9-12
Illustrations of the principle 22:9-12The laws against mixing seed, animals in yoke, and fibers in clothing (Deuteronomy 22:9-11) may have had a double significance. They taught the Israelites the importance of purity and keeping things distinct ". . . because the order of the world must not be endangered." [Note: C. Houtman, "Another Look at Forbidden Mixtures," Vetus Testamentum 24:2 (1984):227.] They may have also illustrated the importance of remaining separate from the Canaanites (cf. 2... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 22:9-18
7. Laws arising from the seventh commandment 22:9-23:18The seventh commandment is, "You shall not commit adultery" (Deuteronomy 5:18). Adultery involves mixing people in a way that they should not mix. The Israelites need to keep things properly apart separate."Known elsewhere in the ancient Near East as the ’Great Sin,’ adultery epitomizes all that impurity means, whether in family, social, political, or religious life." [Note: Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 299.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:1-30
Laws regarding Lost Property, Distinction of Sex in Apparel, and Chastity1-4. Law of Lost Property: see Exodus 23:4 and note.5. ’God is not the author of confusion,’ and the natural distinctions He Himself has appointed ought to be respected. Whatever contravenes the law of nature contravenes the law of God: cp. the principle laid down by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:3-16. Immodesty leads to immorality. There may be an allusion here to the unchaste practices connected with certain idolatrous... read more

(11) A garment . . . of woollen and linen together.—In Ezekiel 44:17-18, the priests are altogether forbidden the use of woollen garments during their ministry. “The fine linen is the righteousness of saints” (Revelation 19:8), literally, their requirements. That is what they need. But it is said of the priests in Ezekiel, “They shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat: That which cometh out of the man defileth him.” Again, in God’s dwelling-place, the interior or mishkân, the... read more

Your Responsibility for Your Brother Deuteronomy 22:1-3 A recent writer in one of our religious papers has said, with all the omniscience and infallibility that attach to the press, that no one preaches from the Pentateuch in these days. By this he probably suggests that there is no Gospel in the Pentateuch, and in suggesting this he shows hopeless, unblushing ignorance. One of the best books Charles Kingsley wrote was The Gospel in the Pentateuch; and anyone who takes the trouble to look for... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30
LAWS OF PURITY (CHASTITY AND MARRIAGE)IN dealing with the ten commandments it has been already shown that, though these great statements of religious and moral truth were to some extent inadequate as expressions of the highest life, they yet contained the living germs of all that has followed. But we cannot suppose that the reality of Israelite life from the first corresponded with them. They contained much that only the experience and teaching of ages could fully bring to light; therefore we... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30
Laws of love and purity (22:1-30)A collection of miscellaneous laws reminds the people of some everyday responsibilities. They had to go out of their way to help others (22:1-4); they were not to dress in a way that would encourage immorality (5); they were to be thoughtful for the safety of others, birds and animals as well as people (6-8); and they were not to restrict the productivity of their crops through wrong practices, or shorten the lives of their working animals through cruelty... read more
