The ancient Israelites were forbidden to walk in the
sinful ways of the surrounding pagan nations (Lev 18:1-4),
but they were never to wall themselves off from the outside world.
Instead, Israel was commissioned to be a light unto the world.
Witnesses of God's saving and electing Grace so that Gentiles
might understand their sinfulness, then turn, and seek the Lord
and find the blessing He has always promised to deliver to
them through Abraham's Seed (JC).
Isa 42:6
I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you as a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations,
