[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Both these issues have been dealt with in extenso. The Israelites had a full range of skin colours as is typical of Africans of the periphery and diaspora. They also seem to display the "colour struck" phenomena as evidenced by Miriam's comments to Moses in relation to Zipporah (also covered here previously). [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [qb] I'm completely neutral in this as I see evidence for both sides in this discussion. Because I want to learn more about this discussion I want to know what Al Takruri, Astenb and other people who believe in a largly black/dark skinned makeup of the hebrews. [QUOTE] Can an Ethiopian change the color of his skin? Can a leopard take away its spots? Neither can you start doing good, for you have always done evil. Jeremiah 13:23 [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] "I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of kedar as the curtains of Solomon." Song of Solomon 1:5 [/QUOTE]In my opinion, these passages imply that they had a markedly different skin color than the Hebrews. In the first exemple because they seem to use Africans as an exemple for darkness, which is weird if they themselves were black or dark skinned. The second quote to me demonstrated that there may have been a tendency to look down on people with a dark skin tone. Or the person who wrote it might have felt that way. Why would there be a need to feel that way if females of Judah had the same or a slightly lighter colouring? If the judah had brown skinned people, they probably had black skinned people too because no population has 100% the same colour. Why wouldn't she/he blend in nicely with the darker skinned people? Another question is why would it be needed to give an exemple of an external source like a black tent somewhere in Arabia, if the majority of the Hebrew population was dark skinned like Africans?
