What does the Bible teach about interracial marriages?

For anyone who might be confused regarding how God views interracial marriages, the Bible offers some clarity when it comes to this. In Numbers 12 we are told that Moses’ wife was a Cushite. The Cushites were Ethiopians. This means that Moses’ wife was a black lady.

God chose Moses and He regularly conversed with Moses. If God had found the fact that Moses had an interracial marriage to be a problem, one would think that He would have communicated this to Moses at some point; or that He would not have chosen Moses in the first place to be a great leader. This did not happen; therefore, we can conclude that God had no problem with the fact that Moses had an interracial marriage.

This indicates that God does not have a problem with interracial marriages.
