Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 22:9/אבן עזרא על דברים כ״ב:ט׳
אלא תזרע כלאים. פירוש פן תקדש כבר פירשו מנחם בן סרוק הספרדי במחברתו והוא מגזרת קדש בעבור שיתערב זה עם זה:
1THOU SHALT NOT SOW THY VINEYARD. The following is the meaning of pen tikdash (lest the fullness): Rabbi Menachem ben Saruk the Sephardi has already explained in his notebook that the word tikdash (fullness) is related to the word kodesh (holy).40 can also be taken to mean profaned. See Rashi. [The product of two seeds sown together becomes holy] because one mixes with the other.41
