There are many Hebrew Israelites that, full-of-confidence-and-pro-Hebrew-sentiment, claim that Israelites can not marry with Gentiles. They say: "It is an abomination!" They do this based on a few scriptures.

They might even add their own theories to it.

​

There are also vegetarians that do the same thing.

They try to convince/condemn you of becoming vegetarian.

They use and create their own philosophies.

​

In this article we will discuss if the "interracial-abomination" is correct.

We will look at some of the scriptures that people use to defend the interracial abomination.

​

Look up and read the scriptures below and you will come to a conclusion.

​

Tobit 4:12: The custom was to marry within your tribe. A custom is not binding like a thora law, it's just a custom.

Numbers 36: It's good to marry within your tribe because the inheritance will go to the tribe of the husband

But many Israelites married with other tribes. It's not a sin.

And do you know now (in year 2021) 100% what is your tribe?

​

Gen.16:3: Abraham married with an Egyptian (Hagar was a Hammite)

Gen.26:5 Abraham was righteous man

Gen.17:20: Abrahams seed was blessed

​

Gen.39:7- Joseph married with an Egyptian woman (a Hammite)

Joseph was a righteous man

Gen.31:45 -

Joseph had 2 sons: Ephraim and Manasse. Two tribes. They were high ranking tribes and had land in Israel

Num.36: Joshua was a descendant of Ephraim (1Chro.7:20-27)

​​

The Book of Jubilees is not completely reliable:

Jubilees 50:12: If you fast on the sabbath you wil die, but Moses himself fasted on the sabbath 40 days and nights while he was on mount Sinai.

Ex.34:27-28

​​

Even Elisha fasted 40 days

and The Messiah also fasted 40 days

​​

So they should all die according to Jubilees

​​

Gen.38:1-

Judah had 3 children by a Cananite woman. (Hammite woman)

2 died, but Shelah was part of Israel (Number 26:20)

​​

Gen.46:10 -

Shaul the son of Cananite woman

​​

Israel was always mixing with other nations

​​

They were considered Israelites because the bloodline generally goes through the father

PATRIARCHY (Num.1:16, 18)

Pedigree = birth right

​​

1Chr.2:34-35

Occasionally the bloodline goes through the woman

Sheshan the Judaite had no sons, only daughters. So He gave his daughter to marry his Egyptian servant Jarha.

And they had children counted and accepted among the tribe of Judah

There are many examples like this.

​​

Is interaccial marriage a sin, based on this scripture?

Ex.34:11: Break down their false ways of worship

Ex.34:14: The explanation: it is about the influence they will have on you

​​

Deut.7:1-5

Break down their false worship

​​

The fullfilment

Judge 3:5-6

​​

In certain cases it is permissible to marry other nations

Deut.21:10-15​

Destroy her culture/influence/traditions, then take her as wife

Deut.20:10-18: talking about other nations

​​

Ex.21:16: no slavery among Israelites

2 Ki. 13:10-11: Jehoash was a wicked Israelite

2 Ki.14:14 -

​​

Is interracial marriage a sin, based on this scripture?

Num. 31:15-16 speaks about Num. 25: it is about idolatry

Num.31:18- but you can take the young virgins

Num.31:35: They took 32.000 virgins from another nation!

​​

Who are the Midianites?

Gen.25:1-6

They are descendants of Abraham and Ketura

​​

Moses married a Midianite. Midianites are not Israelites

Exo.2:16, 21: So Moses himself married interracial

​

The book of Jubilees chapter 30 is not completely reliable.

The book of Jubilees, supposedly written by Moses himself, says that it is a sin to marry other nations, but Moses himself married other nations.

​​

Num.12:1: Moses married also a Ethopian woman. Kushite=Hammite

Confirmed by Josephus in the Anitiquities of the Jews book 2.

​​

Myriam was struck with leprosy for speaking against Moses

​​

Num.12:6-8 Moses was a righteous man, Moses knows the Most High.

​​

Queen Esther was very respected, but still she married a Persian King.

If is was such a great sin, then she wouldn't have done it.

​​

David married interracial:

Davids children

1Chr. 3:2

Absalom was a mixed child

David married Maacah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur

Joshua 13:11, 13 - Geshurites and Maacathites are not Israelites

2 Sam.13:37- Absalom fled to his Gentile family

​​

David was a righteous man: 1Ki.15:5

David's biggest sin was that he "killed" Uria.

But his interracial marriages was not counted as sin.

​​

Solomon also was a righteous man

1Ki.3:1, 3

While Solomon was living righteously, he had an Egyptian wife.

And he had an Egyptian wife during the time this scripture was written.

Having a foreign wife was not the problem by it self.

​​

Later on in his life Solomon sinned by worshiping the gods of his wives (idolatry)

1Ki.11:4-5 - to be precise; the idols Ashetoreth and Milcom

​​

Ezrah 9:1-

The problem was that the Israelites followed the abominations of the Gentiles

And they abandoned the commandments of the Most High.

And adopted the pagan customs.

And they were doing it in massive numbers.

​

With respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites: This shows that the problem was not primarily ethnic. The problem was they did not separate themselves from these abominations, specifically the idolatry of these people.

​

What exactly were those abominations?

child sacrifice, temple prostitution, idol worship, calling on Idols, not keeping the commandments, not keeping the Sabbath, consulting spirits, wicked traditions / habits, uncleanness, etc. and much more ...

​

An idol is anything else then The Most High A.K.A. The Creator of Heaven and Earth A.K.A. The Power of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses.

​

every other thing that is worshiped, is an idol

​

Neh.13:1-3

Same thing happened here as in Ezrah 9: 

The Israelites were influenced by the other nations religions.

​

a little side note:

Congregation of The Most High is not the same as the congregation of Israel.

The congregation of The Most High is the high priesthood.

An Ammonite or Moabite could never be a high priest, because of Deut.23:3.

Notice a distinction between congregation of The Most High (the Levite family of Aaron)

and congregation of Israel (the 12 tribes of Israel). Num.16:9

Levite priest Korah wanted to enter the congregation of The Most High (high priests), but he was not allowed, because he was not from the tribe of Aaron (tribe of high priests). Num.16.

He was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi. BUT  he was not from the tribe of Aaron.

Only after 3 generations "others" can enter the congregation of The Most High.

​

Back to the story of Neh.13:4-5

The High priest was had organised a special room / skybox outside the temple for Tobiah the Ammonite, but 

Tobiah the Ammonite was an Ammonite and an Israelite-Hater

Neh.2:10 -

Tobiah the Ammonite was not supposed to be involved in anything concerning the temple / the high priests, because he was an Ammonite. He had a special room / skybox in the temple of The Most High.

Neh.13:28-29: the involvement of an Ammonite in the temple affairs was the big problem

The people didn't keep the sabbath and rejected and defiled the priesthood.

​

Nationality doesn't matter​

Mal.2:11

It is about the idolatry. It is not about the nationality.

​

Isa.56:1-8

It's about personal actions.

It is not about nationality or race.

The Most High has no respect of persons

He will reward each person according to their deeds.

It is better to be humble and consider yourself, because there will be Gentiles in the kingdom with a better place and name then other Israelites, according to Isa.56:5.

​

Matt.3:7-10, Mat.7:21-23

​

Is the unbelieving Gentile or unbelieving Israelite helping and not hindering the Israelite cause and goals?

​

Look what Apostle Paul the Thora Expert, advices in 1Cor.7:12-15:

​

If the unbeliever does not hinder/burden you in following the ways of The Most High, you can stay together.

If the unbeliever is pressuring you to go astray from the Most High and HIS cause, then let the spouse go.

​

Are you wiser and more schooled in Thora than Paul?

​

What about Israelite women marrying Gentiles?

​

In Lev.24:10-16 we can see that apparently an Israelite women can be married to a Gentile man. The danger in it is that their children can easily adopt Gentile behaviour. In this passage we can clearly see that her son was influenced by the ways of his Gentile father. Not understanding the Israelite culture. Contaminating the camp with Gentile behaviours.

 

An Israelite woman SHOULD NOT marry a Gentile man, because the Gentiles have no understanding. And cannot lead Israelites. How is that Gentile man going to lead her? Is he an expert in the laws of the Israelites ? Also their children will not be Israelites since the tribe is transmitted by that Gentile man.

That Israelite woman is not helping Israel.

She is building the nation of her Gentile man.

​

INTERESTING THOUGHT:

​

If the Most High can give a Gentile the Holy Spirit, who are we to say that Israelites can not marry with a such person.

​

​Act 10:14  But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 
Act 10:15  And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 

​

Act 10:28  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 

​​

Act 10:34  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 
Act 10:35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 

​​

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

​

Act 10:44  While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word. 
Act 10:45  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
Act 10:46  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 
Act 10:47  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 
Act 10:48  And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. 

​

​

TO FINALISE THIS TOPIC:

​

 I advice Israelites to marry and prefer marrying Israelites.

​

but there can be exceptions.

​

CONCLUSION:

​

IT'S NOT A SIN TO MARRY OR BE MARRIED TO A GENTILE:

THAT FOLLOWS / SUPPORTS / HELPS / LIVES / NOT HINDERS THE ISRAELITE CAUSE.
