Exegesis
The hitpael perfect ve-hitkhatantem {וְהִתְחַתַּנְתֶּם | wə-hit-ḥat-tan-tem} ‘and you intermarry’ denotes mutual familial integration, and the idiomatic qal perfect u-vatem {וּבָאתֶם | û-bā-tem} ‘and you go in’ indicates social mingling.
In context — Joshua 23:12
For if you again turn back and cling to the remainder of these nations that remain among you, and if you intermarry with them and associate with them, and they with you.
