RED FLAG: The article implies there is no Hebrew
race. If that were so: 1) Why such a precise record
of geneologies? 2) Why did GOD more than once
cleanse the nation of Israel by separating foreign
wives and children? -Ezra 10

“The article implies there is no Hebrew race. If that were so: 1) Why such a precise record of geneologies?”

Jewish people are not a race, per se. We are primaily semetic, yes.

But what left Egypt was a mixed multitude.

Certainly anyone, of any race, is able to convert and become as much a Jewish person as I am. Indeed, perhaps more so.

The geneologies primarily relate to specific promises to sub-sets of the Jewish people: Levites, Cohamnum, Line of David, etc.

“Why did GOD more than once cleanse the nation of Israel by separating foreign wives and children?”

Because you are Jewish through your mother. (Your father determines the tribe.) These children were not Jewish and their mothers/children did not want to convert and live as Jews.

If they had repented of their pagan ways, they would have been welcome to stay.
