Exodus 6:14
These be the heads of their fathers' houses... By God's design, all nations are counted according to their fathers. Contrary to modern Jewish practice, nationality is never determined by one's birth mother. Most people who call themselves Jewish today are descended from Jewish men, but many are almost certainly not. Fortunately for them, naturalization is also a biblical concept. The mixed multitude that left Egypt with the Hebrews were considered by God to be Israelites. Many others are unknowingly descended from long forgotten Israelite rhizomes, and God might someday call them out again to rejoin their Jewish brothers in the land of Israel.
In fact, I believe he is already doing just that.
