Very true... yet in Ezra he commanded the men of Israel at that time to divorce their wives. Go figure....
"yet in Ezra he commanded the men of Israel at that time to divorce their wives"
Well wasn't that to divorce their idolatrous wives? Again we see that God is a God of mercy considering what COULD have happened....
because the men had married pagan women during their time of exile.
This is reflected in Paul's (much later) warning for us to not become yoked with non-believers.
