Text
editYou shall not sow your vineyard with a mixture of diverse kinds of seed; lest the fullness of the seed which you have sown be forfeited together with the increase of the vineyard.
Rashi
editA mixture of diverse kinds of seed
Wheat and barley and grapeseed dropped by the hand [together].
Lest it be forfeited
As its Targum: contaminated. Any thing which is abominable upon the person, both for praise, such as sanctification, and for shame, such as prohibition, comes under the language of קדש; such as (Isaiah 65:5) "do not come near to me, for I have declared you unclean".
The fullness
This is the filling and supplement that the seed supplements.
