"Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel's sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharoah had sent to transport him. They also took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt. He took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters - all his offspring." (Genesis 46:5-7) - already married before they went to Egypt! "Hebrew women are not like Egytian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive." (Exodus 1:19) - intermarrying?... I don't think so! In Jesus' love, John Pickett

Genesis 41:45 gives at least one example, where pharao gives Joseph
"Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On" to wife.
(though you can argue, for good reasons, this has been an exeption).
