1. Leviticus 19:19 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How does verse 19 function within the chapter?

Leviticus 19:19 (ESV)

19 “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.

Leviticus 19:19 continues with the theme of holiness. Holiness entails that something is set apart within its proper sphere. This extends to justice, agriculture, and sexual relationships.
