Subject: Interracial marriages? Bible says what? |
Bible Note: Please read the following two examples taken from the NASB... This is Ezra 9:1-2. Mixed Marriages 1 Now when these things had been completed, the princes approached me, saying, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not (1) separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, (2) according to their abominations, those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites. 2 "For (3) they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that (4) the holy race has (5) intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the princes and the rulers have been foremost in this unfaithfulness." This is Nehemiah 13:22-24 also from NASB. Mixed Marriages Forbidden 23 In those days I also saw that the Jews had (3) married women from (4) Ashdod, (5) Ammon and Moab. 24 As for their children, half spoke in the language of Ashdod, and none of them was able to speak the language of Judah, but the language of his own people. I hope this will help clarify the situation for you and your grandson as well as anyone else reading about this subject. It is covered in the word of God. |
