Deuteronomy 22:9-10
The aim here seems to be not to work animals together who have a natural aversion for each other. That it is not fair to either one to link them together side by side. God uses this principle when He says, "Do not be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever. Do not marry somebody who is different from you." There is wisdom.
You do not work animals together who are, let us say, of different capacities. In that case, one does all the work and the other goes along for the ride, and not as much work is accomplished as when you put two of a kind together. You see there is wisdom in these things. We will not go into it, but God intends that we study these things so that we will learn principles of right living and be able to get the best out of life.
Deuteronomy 22:10
What this verse means (if I can put it into a more colloquial use) is do not get doubly harnessed with unbelievers. What he is actually doing is drawing on Deuteronomy 22:10. He is telling you there that you should not hook an ox and an ass together. That is double harnessed, and the pulling is not going to be good. Here the illustration is a believer with an unbeliever, and the pulling together is not going to work because the minds are not working in the same way.
