Contextual Overview

⁵ The woman shall not weare that which pertaineth vnto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment: for all that doe so, are abomination vnto the Lord thy God. ⁶ If a birds nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be yong ones, or egges, and the damme sitting vpon the yong, or vpon the egges, thou shalt not take the damme with the yong. ⁷ But thou shalt in any wise let the damme goe, and take the yong to thee, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy dayes. ⁸ When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roofe, that thou bring not blood vpon thine house, if any man fall from thence. ⁹ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diuers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sowen, and the fruit of thy Uineyard be defiled. ¹⁰ Thou shalt not plow with an oxe and an asse together. ¹¹ Thou shalt not weare a garment of diuers sorts, as of woollen, and linnen together. ¹² Thou shalt make thee fringes vpon the foure quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou couerest thy selfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,.... The Jews say nothing is forbidden under the name of sorts but what is spun and wove, as it is said, "thou shalt not wear sheatnez", a thing that is carded, spun, and wove l; which Ainsworth translates "linsie woolsie", and is explained by what follows: as "of woollen and linen together"; of which :-, whereas Josephus m observes, this was granted to the priests only to wear such garments.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare the marginal reference. The prohibition of Deuteronomy 22:10 was also dictated by humanity. The ox and the donkey being of such different size and strength, it would be cruel to the latter to yoke them together. These two animals are named as being those ordinarily employed in agriculture; compare Isaiah 32:20.
