Question:
Does the Bible talk about marriage between races?
Answer:
We are all of one race in the sense that we all came from Noah, but it was wrong for the Israelites to marry one not an Israelite. A number of men gave up their “strange wives” to please the Lord in Ezra 10. However, in Numbers 12 the Lord defended Moses who was an Israelite, and punished Miriam for speaking against Moses’ marriage to an Ethiopian woman, which was an inter-racial marriage. We find three possible marriages with Canaanites in the genealogy of the Lord in Matthew 1:3, 5, 6, which would be inter-racial, if we consider descendants of the three sons of Noah to be different races.
