Breaking Down Deuteronomy 22:5.

[Mr. M]

Deuteronomy 22:5.A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.

ishshah keli geber=woman instruments/weapons man
A woman should not carry the instruments of a man.

keli first used here and applies to a woman
Genesis 24:53. And the servant brought forth jewels H3627 of silver, and jewels H3627 of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

second use here applied to a man
Genesis 27:3. Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, H3627 [here described as]
thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison.

So we see that we can easily argue that this pertains to a woman taking up the tools and weapons of a man, and has little to do with apparel, appearance or styles. Should an ishshah (more precisely, a wife) be expected to take up the tools of a man?

geber labash ishshah simlah
man wraps himself in a woman/wifes garment
this is more clearly referring to women's apparel, and not so much women's clothing,
but wrapped about with a shawl or other covering.
labash
Genesis 3:21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. H3847.

literally wrapped them in animal coats, which also implies taking on the appearance thereof.

simlah basically, something that can be used as a full covering.
Genesis 9:23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, H8071 and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

Hence, the man can be attempting to hide his manhood beneath a woman's covering, to appear as a woman, rather than a man. Even as Adam and Eve took on the appearance of animals in the garden.
Even as Esau was a furry man.
Genesis 27:
15. And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon H3847 Jacob her younger son:
16. And she put H3847 the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Was this not a disguise, even if for a blind man?
Other thoughts...
Many choose to be blind to serve the Lord.
Isaiah 42:19. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

Others choose to be blind to avoid the Truth.
John 9:
39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

 

[JackRT]

The Bible emerged out of an extremely patriarchal culture where gender roles had to be strictly enforced in order assure male dominance.

Do you know Hebrew?

 

[Mr. M]

Do you know Hebrew?

No, I look at the inter-linear on BLB.org, definitions, root words, and most importantly in my opinion, as many, if not all verses that use that word to get a complete picture of how the word was used throughout the scriptures and possible range of meanings.

I'm going to suggest that you and I, with merely a Strong's Concordance and an Interlinear, are not qualified to second guess the work of qualified Hebrew scholars who actually know the language, without at least somebody, somewhere, with some creds, who backs up our theory.

Here is Deuteronomy 22:5 in 52 translations. Every single one of them says this is about clothing.

Bible Gateway

I'm pretty sure you cannot take the whole range of meaning of a Hebrew word and simply pick the meaning you want. You definitely can't do that in Greek. Context and syntax matters. And since neither you nor I know the language, we aren't aware of those things.

[H3627] keliy-used 325X, does not mean clothing. I would suggest that through the power of suggestion and presupposition, the translators had already concluded the verse pertains to clothing, and translated to fit their presupposition. All it takes is for one authority figure to opine that this is best, and the other 51 will fall in line.
You can take the whole range of meaning of a Hebrew word simply by reading every verse where it appears and its context. Hebrew is nothing like Greek. You clearly know that Greek is a living language with a rich grammar and syntax that you can learn. Here was where I became suspicious about the nature of Hebrew in this regard.
Twenty-five years ago, I read the first edition 1917 JPS translation of the Tanakh. I think you are familiar. The first edition was heavily annotated, as it was highly anticipated work. I am the kind of reader who cannot plow through notes, I have to stop for every one and go to the margin, or bottom of the page to read the note. The most common note I found was this: *Hebrew uncertain. The second most common was **emendation yields...followed by an alternate translation. Anyone who has read the Asher Lev novels knows of the controversy of emendations to the Hebrew text. Later editions of the Tanakh removed the emendations.
You are welcome to put your trust in scholarship. I prefer to seek and find. Ask and receive. Maybe you are sceptical. I don't blame you, it is the darndest thing.
Go here and see for yourself, keliy not clothing.
H3627 - keliy - Strong's Hebrew Lexicon (KJV)

I would ask one thing further of you as a personal favor since I respected your opinion and took the time to write out as thorough a reply as I possibly could, considering my busy retiree schedule.

Please consider this essay I wrote, as I believe it is the reason for the emendation controversy and the difficulty in translating Hebrew. And remember this: Jacob saw angels ascending and descending, which Messiah confirms to Nathaniel.

We must remember that Strong's is good for what it is a concordance not a lexicon. Strong's shows where each word occurs and lists how it is translated in the KJV.
An earlier edition of the lexicon I quoted, which is out of copyright can be downloaded free at Internet Archives.
