[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ That the Land of Midian was inhabited by black people can be seen in Hebrew scriptures describing the Midianites as 'kushim' or blacks. Those who are familiar with the Bible would know that Moses's wife Zipporah is described as black and was chastised for it in many interpretations. So too was the Shulamite bride as described in the 'Song of Songs' which in its accurate translation says "I am black [i]and[/i] comely[/i]". [/qb][/QUOTE]However, the Song of Songs is not written in the time of Solomon and the name "Kushi" or Kushan didn't originally mean black, but came to mean black in Syria, like Nabit and Kuthi or "Samaritan". There is also of course a tradition that Solomon was black. Solomon was an Israelite and the earliest Israelites Rabbis in Syria claim Shem was " black " Shihor. Hence Rabbi Eliezar living in the first century calls Shem "black and beautiful". While the medieval David from the tribe of Reuben who came to Europe from Khaibar says his town was region of Chabor of the Bible the land located north of Israel which the Yehud were settled after their capture by Assyrians. "near which Tiglath-pileser, and afterwards Shalmanezer located portions of the captive Israelites." 2 Kings 17:6 18:11. Thus, "the name Hara is inserted between Chabor and the river of Gozan " Dictionary of the Holy Bible 1832 Augustine Calmet. This is the el-Hara of Arabia land of the Black Sulaym and Hawazin bin Mansur (or Manasseh). [/QB][/QUOTE]
