Arabs

• descendants of blue, yellow, and Adamite races

64:7.11Dur­ing the fol­low­ing in­ter­glacial pe­riod this new Ne­an­derthal race ex­tended from Eng­land to In­dia. The rem­nant of the blue race left in the old Per­sian penin­sula later amal­ga­mated with cer­tain oth­ers, pri­mar­ily the yel­low; and the re­sul­tant blend, sub­se­quently some­what up­stepped by the vi­o­let race of Adam, has per­sisted as the swarthy no­madic tribes of mod­ern Arabs.

• more recent pastoral peoples

68:5.63. The pas­toral stage. This phase of civ­i­liza­tion was made pos­si­ble by the do­mes­ti­ca­tion of an­i­mals. The Arabs and the na­tives of Africa are among the more re­cent pas­toral peo­ples.

• ancient adoption ceremony

70:3.8In later times, blood di­luted with red wine was used, and even­tu­ally wine alone was drunk to seal the adop­tion cer­e­mony, which was sig­ni­fied in the touch­ing of the wine cups and con­sum­mated by the swal­low­ing of the bev­er­age. The He­brews em­ployed a mod­i­fied form of this adop­tion cer­e­mony. Their Arab an­ces­tors made use of the oath taken while the hand of the can­di­date rested upon the gen­er­a­tive or­gan of the tribal na­tive. The He­brews treated adopted aliens kindly and fra­ter­nally. “The stranger that dwells with you shall be as one born among you, and you shall love him as your­self.”
