History question: When did Judaism START allowing conversion for one to be considered a Jew?
Good question, I can’t back up my feeling that this is correct by anything other than not being able to recall any specific scripture that talks about it. On the other hand they were allowed to “assimilate” females after specific battles. I suspect that the religion did not initially consider converts as most religions didn’t until the first convert came along. Edit: Religion, like everything else, evolves through time.
