Excerpt from Intermarriage
I would not have you imagine for a moment that there were no proscriptions against intermarriage in the Scriptures. It was expressly forbidden for the Hebrews to wed' members of the seven tribes of Canaan, who were idolators and pagans of the lowest order. When removed from Palestine the Jews married Babylonians and Ezra strove most zealously to overcome the in?uence of the introduction of Babylonian thought among his people. The Rabbis of the Talmud strove to keep Israel a people of pure ideals, extended, in some respects, the prohibition of intermarriage with heathens, other than the seven tribes of Canaan; yet set laws for the admission of proselytes, all of whom were to be carefully warned of the burdens they assumed by joining the ranks of Israel. It is only during the past fifteen hundred years that the most embittered dislike and distaste for general intermarriage has been engendered and promulgated, and if we turn the pages of history we shall find the reasons clearly demonstrated.
