Berean Strong's Lexicon kilayim: Mixtures, mixed kinds Original Word: כִּלְאַיִם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: kilayim Pronunciation: kee-lah'-yim Phonetic Spelling: (kil-ah'-yim) Definition: Mixtures, mixed kinds Meaning: two heterogeneities Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "kilayim," as this concept is specific to the Hebrew Torah and its laws. Usage: The term "kilayim" refers to the prohibition of mixing different kinds, particularly in the context of agriculture and textiles. It is used to describe the forbidden practice of sowing different kinds of seeds together, breeding different kinds of animals, or wearing garments made of mixed fabrics, such as wool and linen. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "kilayim" was part of the broader Levitical laws that emphasized purity, separation, and holiness. These laws were given to the Israelites to set them apart from other nations and to teach them principles of order and distinction. The prohibition against mixing different kinds was symbolic of maintaining purity and avoiding confusion or disorder in God's creation.
