[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Yes that's the warped English translation based on their despising dark skin. The Hebrew authors of the text in question held no such contempt. This bit of Hebrew scripture is the first statement of BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL (a full two thousand five hundred yeas before the USA black power movement adopted the phrase) in history. When the Yemini recording artist Shimi Tabori sang it on an English language release he used the conjunctive AND, which is also what was printed on the LP jacket and the record label. Since Tabori, like 99.9% of Yemini Jews, has spoken Hebrew from birth and knows English as second language (in Israel) his translation is accurate correct and valid. It reflects what we know from the Hebrews and from even the post era Judaeans: [QUOTE][i] [URL=http://ww]Shem[/URL] was [b]especially[/b] blessed [URL=http://www.]black and beautiful[/URL], Hham was blessed black like the raven, and Yapheth was blessed white all over.[/i] PIRQE DE RABBI ELIEZER 28a [/QUOTE] [QUOTE][i] ... the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it [URL=http://www.]yellow thin hair[/URL], then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, [b]it is leprosy[/b] of the head or of the beard. And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in [URL=http://www.]the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter[/URL], it hath broken out in the skin: he is clean. . . . . ... if the rising of the plague be [URL=http://www.]reddish-white[/URL] in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as [URL=http://www.]the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, he is a leprous man, he is unclean[/URL]; the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean:[/i] Leviticus 13:30 & 13:38-44 [/QUOTE]And, less some fool think a blond haired, white skinned or reddish white skinned leper was something beautiful in Hebrew eyes: [QUOTE][i] when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was [URL=http://www.][b]leprous[/b], as [b]white as snow[/b][/URL]; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses: ...Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.' [/i] Numbers 12:10-12 [/QUOTE]The appearance of a blond white person to ancient Hebrews was as if they were a miscarriage or a stillbirth and was frightening. Later, after getting used to white peoples of Europe from seeing them suffused throughout the Roman empire, they excused Germans from all being lepers even though the descendants of Gehazi were know as congenital lepers. [QUOTE][i] The [b]leprosy[/b] therefore of Naaman [b]shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever[/b].' And he went out from his presence [URL=http://www.]a leper as white as snow[/URL].[/i] 2 Kings 5:27 [/QUOTE]Yes, the correct translation is "I am black and beautiful" or alternately if one prefers, "I am dark and lovely." In that day and time there was no reason for any black to be ashamed of their colour. For Hebrews, a Kushi's beauty was his skin as was the Aithiop's in Grecian eyes.

[/qb][/QUOTE]*snickering* that was the nail in the coffin good source!!! It should be done now. [/qb][/QUOTE]Why's that, because of the quotation? Well, the usual English translation of that verse is actually "I am black [i]but[/i] comely." [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
