## Resource

In this episode of Wise Counsel, host Robert Smith explores Leviticus 19:19, where God commands Israel not to wear garments made of mixed fabrics. To modern ears, it sounds trivial or arbitrary—but scholars like Dr. Michael S. Heiser and Carol Meyers show that this law was about sacred order, holiness, and boundaries. Robert unpacks how even the threads of daily life pointed ancient Israel toward a deeper truth: God’s people were to remain distinct, woven together in purity, not blended with the patterns of the nations. From linen and wool to faith and culture, we’ll discover how holiness still speaks through the ordinary.
