Ezra 9, 1-2: Ezra denounces the mixing of the holy Hebrew race with the Semitic peoples of the land. They were not to marry non-Hebrews which they apparently were doing.
Through out history, the races and ethnic races have mixed freely, and it will increase and likely increase.
This ancient pure race prohibition from Yahweh likely had little to do with racism and emphasis on racial superiority than it was an effort to repel pagan culture and its people dominant all around the borders of tiny Israel.
