Lit., slays him as regards the soul.

Or, hates.

The requirement here may refer to what is mentioned in Num. 15:38 (see notes there).

The prohibition against plowing with an ox and a donkey together typifies the prohibition against becoming dissimilarly yoked with unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14a and note 2 Cor. 6:14^2a). In this verse an ox, a clean animal, typifies a believer, and a donkey, being unclean, typifies an unbeliever (Lev. 11:3-4a).

The prohibition against sowing two kinds of seed in one’s vineyard may typify the prohibition against teaching differently in the church (1 Tim. 1:3-4; 6:3; cf. Luke 8:11). The church is God’s vineyard (cf. 1 Cor. 3:9b), and in this vineyard only one kind of seed, one kind of teaching, should be sown (Acts 2:42 and note Acts 2:42¹). If we teach differently, sowing more than one kind of seed, the “produce” in the church will be forfeited.
