Halakha Ulangan 22:10: Shulchan Shel Arba, Mishneh Torah, Negative Mitzvot & Sefer HaChinukh

The one who breaks the bread when he breaks it should grasp the loaf in his two hands with ten fingers because of his love for the blessing [over the bread]. And thus you will find ten words in the blessing “ha-motzi.” And likewise the verse [from which it is derived]: “You grow grass for cattle, herbage for man to work to bring forth bread from the earth.”⁶⁴Ps 104:14 in Hebrew is ten words: Matzmi’ah hatzir le-behemah va-esev le-avodat ha-adam le-hotzi’ lehem min ha-aretz. And we find ten mitzvot that were given regarding produce: (1) “You shall not plow [with and ox and ass together];” (2) “You shall not muzzle [an ox while it is threshing];” ⁶⁵Dt. 22:10; Dt 25:4. (3) terumah for the priest; (4) the first tithe for the Levite; (5) the tithe of the tithe that the Levite gives to the priest; (6) the second tithe; (7) the tithe for the poor; (8) gleaning; (9) “the forgotten sheaf;” and (10) leaving the corners of the field for the poor.

Not to wear garments made of wool and linen, such as the idolatrous priests wear, as it is said, “Thou shalt not wear a garment of diverse sorts….” (Deut. 22:11).

Not to work with beasts of different species, yoked together, as it is said, “Thou shalt not plough with an ox and with an ass together” (Deut. 22:10).
