Weighting the Cherries.

[The Grand Nudger]

The prohibition against mixed fabric was a cultural reference that any person in that time would have understood.

They preferred wool.  Wool was their fabric just like cotton is ours.  They were holdfast cultivators.  They had no cotton, they grew no flax.  The fucking evil non-believers down in the valleys made and traded all that.  This was a direct prohibition against cultural and economic mixing with the enemy...and it comes in a passage positively -obsessed- with the dangers of mixing.  The dangers of mixing seeds in the field, beasts of burden..and..ofc, of mixing blood.

Interestingly, their priests would have been linen clad with woolen dyed threads.  So that much hasn't changed.  There's always been a double standard between the shepherd and the flock.

So Khem, so who speaks in metaphor? You, God, The goat herders or the priests who were commisioned by KJ to compile the KJV bible.
Can any other learned person find a different meaning other than what you described?

Depends on who you ask.  

A True Believer would say that god, in some instances, speaks in metaphor..in this instance though, he doesn't have to because he also speaks explicitly.  I would say that people speak metaphorically, even when speaking for their gods...and note again that the meaning of the metaphor is not only apparent in the text but reiterated explicitly many....many times, and even given thematic privilege of place as the narrative structure of entire vignettes.  

I'm sure other learned people could find alternative meanings...and I'm even more certain that unlearned people feel compelled to do so by shame, and also that people can find other meanings even where there are no other meanings..even in the explicit exhortations.

Magic book says what it says, regardless.
