Deut. 22:4a| lift| Exo. 23:5;| Matt. 12:11

Deut. 22:6a| mother| cf. Lev. 22:28

Deut. 22:91a| two| Lev. 19:19
| The prohibition against sowing two kinds of seed in one’s vineyard may typify the prohibition against teaching differently in the church (1|Tim. 1:3-4; 6:3; cf. Luke 8:11). The church is God’s vineyard (cf. 1|Cor. 3:9b), and in this vineyard only one kind of seed, one kind of teaching, should be sown (Acts 2:42 and note). If we teach differently, sowing more than one kind of seed, the “produce” in the church will be forfeited.

Deut. 22:101| plow
| The prohibition against plowing with an ox and a donkey together typifies the prohibition against becoming dissimilarly yoked with unbelievers (2|Cor. 6:14a and note 2). In this verse an ox, a clean animal, typifies a believer, and a donkey, being unclean, typifies an unbeliever (Lev. 11:3-4a).
