SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:11

No te vestirás de mistura, de lana y lino juntamente.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts , etc.] 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 f362 ; which Ainsworth translates “linsie woolsie”, and is explained by what follows: as “of woollen and linen together”; of which (see Gill on “ Leviticus 19:19”), whereas Josephus observes, this was granted to the priests only to wear such garments. Bochart affirms it to be false; but that great man is mistaken; the blue, purple, and scarlet, in the priests’ garments, were no other than dyed wool; and it is a sentiment in general received by the Jews, that the priests wore no other but woollen and linen in their service; see the note on the above place; otherwise this law is so strictly observed, as not, to sew a woollen garment with linen thread, and so on the contrary f365 .

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 5-12 - God's providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, and his precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, a we are under his eye and care. Yet the tendency of these laws, whic seem little, is such, that being found among the things of God's law they are to be accounted great things. If we would prove ourselves to be God's people, we must have respect to his will and to his glory, an not to the vain fashions of the world. Even in putting on our garments as in eating or in drinking, all must be done with a serious regard to preserve our own and others' purity in heart and actions. Our ey should be single, our heart simple, and our behaviour all of a piece.
