1 א( ט( The Role of the Convert in the Tanach by Nehemia Gordon Is the Torah Racist? (1) When YHWH your God brings you to the land which you are coming to inherit, he shall drive out many nations from your presence: the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; seven nations more numerous and powerful than you. (2) YHWH your God shall place them before you that you may smite them; you shall utterly destroy them, you must not make a treaty with them, and you must not have mercy on them. (3) You may not intermarry with them: your daughters you may not give to their sons and their daughters you may not take for your sons, (4) because they will cause your sons to turn away from following me and worship other gods; the wrath of YHWH shall burn against you and he shall quickly destroy you. Rachav the Prostitute (9) She said to the men, I know that YHWH has given you the Land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the Land have melted in your presence, (10) because we have heard that YHWH dried up the waters of the Sea of Suf in your presence when you went out from Egypt, and what you did to the two Amorite kings across the Jordan, to Sichon and to Og whom you utterly destroyed. (11) We have heard and our האם התורה היא גזענית?

Uriyah the Hittite Uriyah = Light of YHWH Calev ben Yefuneh the Kenizite (10) The wrath of YHWH burned on that day and he swore saying, (11) The men who came up from Egypt, twenty years and up, shall not see the land which I swore to Avraham, Yitschak, and Ya akov for they were not completely behind me, (12) except Calev ben Yefuneh the Kenizite and Yehoshua the son of Nun, for they were completely behind me. (Numbers 32:10 12) (18) On that day YHWH cut a covenant Avram saying, To your descendents I have given this land, from the river of Egypt until the Great River, the Euphrates River. (19) The [land of] Kenites, the Kenizites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizites, the Refaim, (21) the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. (Genesis 15:18 21) Conversion in the Torah (43) And YHWH said to Moshe and Aharon, This is the statute of the Passover (בּ ן נ כ ר [sacrifice]. No Gentile (ben-nechar may eat of it (45) A resident (toshav (שׂ כ יר and a hired worker (sachir (תּוֹשׁ ב may not eat of it (47) The entire congregation of Israel must do it.

(16) And Ruth said, Do not force me to leave you to turn from following you, because wherever you go, I will go, and where you sleep I will sleep, your people is my people and your God is my God. (17) Where you die, I will die and there I will be buried, so shall YHWH do to me and even more for only death shall separate me and you. (Ruth 1:15 17) An Amonite and a Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH, not even their tenth generation shall enter the congregation of YHWH for ever.

(17) But I will save you one that day, says YHWH, and you shall not be given into the hands of the people whom you fear.
