One reason is that if God allowed them to “cleave to” the families of Caanan - they probably would have intermarried and disappeared as a “people”.
I'm not sure. They did ask that they become part of their people, that they join their culture and submit to their law and thus join their Covenant with God or am I wrong in this?
The circumcision through which they were to be enjoined with Israel sounds to me much like us Gentiles being baptised and enjoined with Christ's Church. Which is in turn the new Israel.
