God, for His own reasons, started correcting the gene pool of humanity with Jacob. Jacob wanted one wife only. God insisted that he have two wives and two concubines to start the process of correcting the gene pool. Jacob was forbidden to marry black women.
When he began the Heaven sent blessing of his offspring in Egypt, he began by blessing his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh who had an Egyptian mother, before he blessed his own sons.
Jacob said of these royal grandsons: "O that all Israel were like Ephraim and Manasseh".
It wasn`t about race when God forbade Jacob, it wasn`t about race when Jacob blessed the Egyptian/Israelite boys first.
God really does know what He`s doing. If we follow His Commandments, our relationships with those who look like us will be well, and we will have good relations with "foreigner" too. We are all one flesh. Adam is the father of the human race. Noah is the father of the human race since the Flood. We know because the Holy Bible tells us. |
