What 2 animals would you never have seen ploughing together on an Israelite's farm

[shaneystar2]

An ox and an ass

[grandmaruth]

thanks, the answer is 2 and 6 so I am assuming ox and a donkey

[shaneystar2]

Yes a donkey would do I suppose :))
It says in Deuteronomy
Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together

[sherrardk]

Sorry to be ignorant, but why not?

[grandmaruth]

I can only assume that they were different sizes and strengths

[shaneystar2]

Something to do with the Torah's kilayim laws sherrardk.
Three of these laws are enumerated in the 22nd chapter of Deuteronomy:

You shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seeds...

You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together.

You shall not wear shaatnez, [a garment fashioned of] wool and linen together.

[DTCwordfan]
