Exodus 34:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 34:16
Intermarriage (taking Canaanite wives) would lead to idolatry spreading to the next generation. Foreign wives would 'make your sons go a whoring after their gods'—exactly what happened to Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-8). This principle extends to the New Testament prohibition on believers marrying unbelievers (2 Cor 6:14). The concern is not ethnic but spiritual—preservation of covenant faithfulness.
