Forbidden to eat produce from a vineyard sown with diverse seeds.
This mitzvah prohibits eating produce that results from planting diverse seeds within a vineyard. The mixture renders the produce forbidden for consumption and benefit. The Torah stresses separation and order even in agriculture, guarding Israel from the practices of the nations who disregarded these boundaries. This law is part of the larger framework of kilayim (forbidden mixtures), teaching holiness through discipline in planting, eating, and living.
