MALACHI 2:8-11
BUT YE DEPARTED OUT OF THE WAY; YE HAVE CAUSED MANY TO STUMBLE AT THE LAW; YE HAVE CORRUPTED THE COVENANT OF LEVI, SAITH THE MOST HIGH OF HOST.
THEREFORE HAVE I ALSO MADE YOU CONTEMPTIBLE AND BASE BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE, ACCORDING AS YE HAVE NOT KEPT MY WAYS, BUT HAVE BEEN PARTIAL IN THE LAW.
HAVE WE NOT ALL ONE FATHER? HATH NOT ONE POWER CREATED US? WHY DO WE DEAL TREACHEROUSLY EVERY MAN AGAINST HIS BROTHER, BY PROFANING THE COVENANT OF OUR FATHERS?
EZRA 10:2-4
AND SHECHANIAH THE SON OF JEHIEL, ONE OF THE SONS OF ELAM, ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO EZRA, HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST THE MOST HIGH, AND HAVE TAKEN STRANGE WIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND; YET NOW THERE IS HOPE IN ISRAEL CONCERNING THIS THING.
NOW THEREFORE LET US MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE MOST HIGH TO PUT AWAY ALL THE WIVES, AND SUCH AS ARE BORN OF THEM, ACCORDING TO THE COUNSEL OF THE ADOWAH, AND THOSE THAT TREMBLE AT THE COMMANDMENT OF THE MOST HIGH; AND LET IT BE DONE ACCORDING TO THE LAW.
ARISE; FOR THIS MATTER BELONGETH UNTO THEE; WE ALSO WILL BE WITH THEE; BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND DO IT.
DEUTERONOMY 7:13-18
AND HE WILL LOVE THEE, AND BLESS THEE, AND MULTIPLY THEE: HE WILL ALSO BLESS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, AND THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, THY CORN, AND THY WINE, AND THINE OIL, THE INCREASE OF THY KINE, AND THE FLOCKS OF THY SHEEP, IN THE LAND WHICH HE SWARE UNTO THY FATHERS TO GIVE THEE,
THOU SHALT BE BLESSED ABOVE ALL PEOPLE: THERE SHALL NOT BE MALE OR FEMALE BARREN AMONG YOU, OR AMONG YOUR CATTLE.
AND THE MOST HIGH WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THEE ALL SICKNESS, AND WILL PUT NONE OF THE EVIL DISEASES OF EGYPT(AMERICA), WHICH THOU KNOWEST, UPON THEE: BUT WILL LAY THEM UPON ALL THEM THAT HATE THEE.
AND THOU SHALT CONSUME ALL THE PEOPLE WHICH THE MOST HIGH THY POWER SHALL DELIVER THEE; THINE EYE SHALL HAVE NO PITY UPON THEM: NEITHER SHALT THOU SERVE THEIR POWERS; FOR THAT WILL BE A SNARE UNTO THEE.
IF THOU SHALT SAY IN THINE HEART, THESE NATIONS ARE MORE THAN I HOW CAN I DISPOSSESS THEM?
THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID OF THEM: BUT SHALT WELL REMEMBER WHAT THE MOST HIGH THY POWER DID UNTO PHARAOH, AND UNTO ALL EGYPT.
JUBILEE 30:9-11 (THE BOOK OF JUBILEES)
sister to any man who is of the seed of the Gentiles he shall surely die, and they
shall stone him with stones; for he has wrought shame in Yisrael; and they shall
burn the woman with fire, because she has dishonored the name of the house of
her father, and she shall be rooted out of Yisrael.
8 And let not an adulteress and no uncleanness be found in Yisrael throughout
all the days of the generations of the earth; for Yisrael is kodesh unto YAHAWAH,
and every man who has defiled it shall surely die: they shall stone him with
stones.
9 For thus has it been ordained and written in the heavenly tablets regarding
all the seed of Yisrael: he who defiles it shall surely die, and he shall be stoned
with stones.
10 And to this Torah there is no limit of days, and no remission, nor any
atonement: but the man who has defiled his daughter shall be rooted out in the
midst of all Yisrael, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, and wrought
impiously so as to defile it.
11 And do you, Mosheh, command the children of Yisrael and exhort them not
to give their daughters to the Gentiles, and not to take for their sons any of the
daughters of the Gentiles, for this is abominable before YAHWEH.
12 For this reason I have written for you in the words of the Torah all the
deeds of the Shechemites, which they wrought against Dinah, and how the sons
of Yacob spoke, saying: 'We will not give our daughter to a man who is
uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us.'
13 And it is a reproach to Yisrael, to those who live, and to those that take the
daughters of the Gentiles; for this is unclean and abominable to Yisrael.
14 And Yisrael will not be free from this uncleanness if it has a wife of the
daughters of the Gentiles, or has given any of its daughters to a man who is of
any of the Gentiles.
15 For there will be plague upon plague, and curse upon curse, and every
judgment and plague and curse will come: if he do this thing, or hide his eyes
from those who commit uncleanness, or those who defile the sanctuary of
YAHWEH, or those who profane His kodesh NAME, (then) will the whole nation
together be judged for all the uncleanness and profanation of this man.
16 And there will be no respect of persons [and no consideration of persons]
and no receiving at his hands of fruits and offerings and burnt-offerings and fat,
nor the fragrance of sweet savor, so as to accept it: and so fare every man or
woman in Yisrael who defiles the sanctuary.
17 For this reason I have commanded you, saying: 'Testify this testimony to
Yisrael: see how the Shechemites fared and their sons: how they were delivered
into the hands of two sons of Yacob, and they slew them under tortures, and it
was (reckoned) unto them for righteousness, and it is written down to them for
righteousness.

JUBILEE 30:9-11 (THE BOOK OF JUBILEES)
7 And if there is any man who wishes in Yisrael to give his daughter or hissister to any man who is of the seed of the Gentiles he shall surely die, and they
shall stone him with stones; for he has wrought shame in Yisrael; and they shall
