What do you think?
Will you think twice about buying that polyester sweater for your loved one?
According to modern biblical scholars (and Josephus), the rules against these mixtures are survivals of the clothing of the ancient Jewish temple and that these mixtures were considered to be holy and/or were forfeited to a sanctuary.[2][3] It may also be observed that linen is a product of a riverine agricultural economy, such as that of the Nile Valley, while wool is a product of a desert, pastoral economy, such as that of the Hebrew tribes. Mixing the two together symbolically mixes Egypt and the Hebrews.Wikipedia: Shatnez

Ok i need to watch before commenting more often. I feel this lends more validity to the bible being an improperly translated science and history text of our extraterrestrial colonists that used genetic technology to accelerate the domestic dominant population of beasts to become more like the colonists and utilized as cheap labor.
Could be the UFO's we see nowadays are simply the powerful descendants of the original Earth colonists attempting to stay out of sight but now constantly bumping with humans as we continue to expand into every corner of the Earth and our artificial eyes (cameras and sensors) continue to advance and proliferate everywhere.
Whoever or whatever originally landed here would have sold themselves as the Gods as the generations grew. Their technology would have earned such reverence from the primitives who were not afforded the same education the colonial ET's had for a basic understanding of technology. As time went forward they could continue to isolate from the modified humans as the populations would continue to bring them the gold, copper, silver and platinum group metals they would need to continue developing their own technology to help them stay out of sight.
If we ever found the original bible, it would probably just say something like "History of travels in the Sol system and the sciences to keep you healthy during such trips" or some nonsense. This could have easily been improperly sold as the teachings of God to an underdeveloped superstitious slave class of primitive humanoids and the power it holds was taught to the intermediary ruling class of humanoids so the colonists could creep back into the shadows while continuing to collect their resources.
Pure speculative theory on my part and could easily just be my imagined fiction. But, it also jives with what humans ourselves have already done in our recorded history to each other, so it may not be that far-fetched.

I am no expert on Shatnez, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. I had a strange feeling that the priests, kōhănīm, did wear such mixtures.
My feelings seem backed up by Wikipedia.

So the mixtures were reserved for the special people and forbidden to the regular folks. It's kind of like if only clerics were allowed to wear clerical collars but regular folks wearing a clerical collar would be liable to criminal prosecution.
But I take issue with biblical scholars looking for biblical answers.
And Josephus is not credible.

The public stoning of non-virgin newly-wed girls for not being virgin seems unhealthy.

It never ceases to amaze me how people discover some hairbrained idea and use a youtube video as proof and then get all triggered when someone points it out.
Please for the love of God....try harder!
