Even in medical times, clothes were usually made with wool fabric and sewn with linen thread for strength. Some Jewish communities would only wear kosher clothing sewn with wool thread.
Comment on Seriously Jesus, who was doing that for that to be added đ

Which means, in essence, that in the XXI c., literally everybody, including priests, is a sinner, and goes to hell, because everything is a blend these days.

Not Jewish - but my understandings: Those are ritual laws. Non Jews arenât bound by them. I donât think the idea is ever that you âgo to hellâ for not following those rules in Judaism.
Itâs more that you have a covenant with God, where you have agreed to follow a set of rules. The rules themselves are less important than the fact that you have an agreement about this with the higher power - that you keep yourself pure and honor that power through these rules. I think in the historical context a lot of the purity rules are a way of distinguishing your group from others - creating a shared culture around those rules.
