Leviticus 19:19 (ESV Strong's)
“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.
Keeping the statutes of God meant they would not marry into the peoples around them, but of only their kind. The seed is the word of God and is not to be mixed with the leaven of the world. The statutes of God would clothe them with the linen of His holiness which were to be then free from the threads of the world.
Today we call this “putting on Christ.” We are in the world, but not of the world.
