Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob always lived as strangers in their own land. That's actually a good thing. Assimilation into the local, Canaanite culture would have been a disaster. God wants us to be separate from the world, but separateness isn't the point. Service, justice, obedience, and the Gospel: these are the point.

#memes Hi guys, thought I’d make a couple of biblical memes to put some smiles on y’alls faces. Enjoy!
For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Proverbs 5:3-4
This principle applies in all kinds of relationships, not just male-female. Don't bind yourself to anyone without thoroughly knowing that person's character and don't trust only your own experience. Seek counsel.

Proverbs 5:3-4
The honey and oil isn't limited to direct temptations, but to any words or behavior that might lead you to trust an untrustworthy person.
Consider the story of Samson and Delilah. There is no way that a man like Samson would have given his secret to a woman like Delilah if she had not thoroughly convinced him that it was in his best interests, but how can that be possible given the little we know from the story? Clearly much of the honey and oil detail is left out of the story.
