Deuteronomy 22:10

Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

Ver. 10. Thou shalt not plough.] These laws were made to set forth how God abhorreth all mixtures in religion, and how carefully men should keep their minds from being "corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." 2Co 11:3
