An Intertextuality Pair — one connection between two passages, shown as linked verse cards: the Later text and the Earlier text it quotes, alludes to or echoes. The Significance essay explains why the link matters and where it points in Christ.

Reference Type— how explicit the link is: Quotation, Allusion, or Echo
Connection Method(s)— how it carries meaning: e.g. Typology, Promise-Fulfillment, Analogy, Longitudinal Theme
Found via— where the connection was identified, e.g. the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge or an Anchor-Text Network

Intertextuality Pair

Deuteronomy 22:9-11 → Leviticus 19:19

Allusion

Later text

Deuteronomy 22:9-11BSB

Do 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. Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together. Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

Earlier text

Leviticus 19:19BSB

You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.

Significance

Leviticus 19:19 prohibits three types of mixing: breeding different kinds of animals (כִּלְאַיִם, kil'ayim), sowing a field with two kinds of seed, and wearing a garment made of two kinds of material (שַׁעַטְנֵז, sha'atnez). Deuteronomy 22:9-11 restates all three prohibitions with greater specificity: do not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, do not plow with an ox and donkey together, and do not wear clothing woven of wool and linen (sha'atnez). The Deuteronomic version contextualizes these rules for settled agricultural life and adds practical consequences — the vineyard's yield will be "defiled" (תִּקְדַּשׁ, tiqdash, lit. "become holy/forfeited") to the sanctuary if violated. Both texts embed the principle that God's created order of distinct categories (כִּלְאַיִם) must be respected.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — all three Levitical mixture prohibitions (breeding, sowing, שַׁעַטְנֵז) are re-promulgated for settled agricultural life — vineyard, ox-and-donkey plowing, wool-and-linen — the Sinai ordering of kinds carried forward into Moab's land-ready code.
