Strong's Lexicon kilay or kelay: Mixtures, Mixed Kinds Original Word: כִּילַי Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלָא (kalah), meaning "to restrict" or "to restrain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of kilay is specific to the Hebrew cultural and religious context. However, the Greek term "heterozugeo" (Strong's G2086), meaning "to be unequally yoked," can be seen as a related concept in the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of spiritual purity and separation. Usage: The term "kilay" or "kelay" refers to the concept of mixed kinds, particularly in the context of prohibitions against mixing different species or types. This includes the mixing of seeds, fabrics, and animals, as outlined in the Mosaic Law. The term is used to emphasize the importance of maintaining purity and distinctiveness as ordained by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the laws concerning kilay were part of the broader Holiness Code found in the Torah. These laws were given to the Israelites to set them apart from other nations and to maintain the purity of creation as God intended. The prohibition against mixing different kinds was symbolic of maintaining spiritual and moral purity, reflecting God's order and design in creation. These laws also had practical implications, such as preventing the weakening of crops or livestock through hybridization.
