The Torah Unabridged by William A Tooman

Examines the evolution, interpretation, and application of legal reasoning in the Hebrew Bible regarding intermarriage in order to recover and describe the logical and exegetical operations by which biblical laws could be applied to situations, circumstances, and persons that lie outside the sphere of their explicit content.

“Tooman has convincingly shown that there is a continuing restriction of marriage partners available to Judeans over the books of the Hebrew Bible beginning with Genesis and ending with Ezra–Nehemiah”

—Lisbeth S. Fried Review of Biblical Literature
