ChiCom, you are quite correct about miscegenation or as you say "forbidden race mixing". It is also the issue that Ezra had to deal with when the remnant of Judah and Benjamin had returned to Jerusalem from Babylon. Ezra proclaimed to the Lord God that EZR 9:2 "thy holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands" EZR 9:10 "for we have forsaken thy Commandments." which is to transgress the LAW.  In the last two chapters of Ezra (9&10) we learn that Ezra had all the mixed breed children and the Babylonian wives returned/deported back to Persia.  It was harsh but it was also God's Law.    So which of the 10 Commandments are we talking about?  Since the tenth Commandment already addresses the fact that coveting thy neighbor's wife can lead to adultery.  We now know by advanced theological research that the Seventh Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" actually refers to miscegenation.  The 7th was purposely mistranslated to deceive.    In the original Ancient Hebrew text that is very similar to ancient Phoenician and NOT to be confused with modern Hebrew which is quadratic script used by those who practice Judaism,  was translated to Chaldee (Eastern Aramaic) after the Babylonian captivity.  Those texts were then written down in the Masoretic texts where we learn from those writings that the English words "COMMIT ADULTERY" are referred to as (na'aph - na'aph)"ADULTERATE ADULTERATE". So the question is why would the Chaldee scribes write the word (na'aph) or ADULTERATE twice? This is where we have to investigate this much further.  In other words the Chaldee word for COMMIT is (na'aph) ADULTERATE and Chaldee word for ADULTERY is also (na'aph) ADULTERATE.  To any legitimate Bible scholar this is a red flag, that demands further investigation.  This is how we know that the Chaldee text was changed in the Masoretic text.  With further analysis of the original Chaldee texts, we learn that the English word ADULTERY used in the King James Bible should actually be the Chaldee word "DAM" which means BLOOD.  As such the 7th Commandment correctly reads, 'Thou Shalt Not Adulterate The Blood."  Hence the LAW that Ezra is referring to. Unfortunately, very few Christian Theologians have done the in depth research of studying the ancient Chaldee manuscripts which prove this.  As such, many European Christians have been deceived going back many centuries. I know this is politically incorrect but it is the truth confirmed by Ezra and the ancient Hebrew and Chaldee texts.
