Definition and Etymology:
The term "Mixeth" is an archaic form of the verb "mix," commonly found in older English translations of the Bible. It denotes the act of combining or blending different elements together. In the context of biblical scripture, "mixeth" often refers to the mixing of substances, peoples, or practices, which can carry both literal and metaphorical implications.

Biblical References:
While the specific term "mixeth" may not appear in the Berean Standard Bible , the concept of mixing is prevalent throughout the scriptures. The Bible frequently addresses the mixing of different elements, often with a focus on maintaining purity and holiness among God's people.

1. Prohibition of Mixing Different Kinds:
The Old Testament law contains several prohibitions against mixing different kinds of seeds, animals, and fabrics. For example, Leviticus 19:19 states, "You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed your livestock with different kinds, nor sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment of two kinds of fabric." These laws symbolically emphasize the importance of maintaining distinctiveness and purity in the lives of the Israelites.

2. Mixing with Foreign Nations:
The Israelites were often warned against intermarrying with foreign nations, which could lead to the mixing of religious practices and the worship of false gods. In Deuteronomy 7:3-4 , it is written, "Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following Me to serve other gods, and the anger of the LORD will burn against you and will swiftly destroy you."

3. Symbolic Mixing in Prophecy:
The prophets frequently used the imagery of mixing to convey spiritual truths. For instance, in Hosea 7:8 , the prophet declares, "Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over." This metaphor illustrates Israel's compromised state, having adopted the practices and customs of surrounding nations, leading to spiritual decay.

Theological Implications:
The concept of mixing in the Bible often serves as a metaphor for the dangers of syncretism and the dilution of faith. The biblical narrative consistently calls for the people of God to remain distinct and separate from the surrounding cultures that could lead them away from their covenant relationship with the Lord. This theme underscores the importance of holiness, purity, and faithfulness to God's commandments.

Practical Application:
For contemporary believers, the principle of avoiding "mixing" can be understood as a call to maintain spiritual integrity and to resist the influences of secular culture that may compromise one's faith. It encourages Christians to be vigilant in their walk with God, ensuring that their beliefs and practices align with biblical teachings and not with the prevailing norms of society.

Conclusion:
While the term "mixeth" itself may not be commonly used in modern translations, the underlying concept remains relevant. The biblical admonitions against mixing serve as a reminder of the call to holiness and the need to preserve the purity of one's faith in a world filled with competing ideologies and practices.
