The Israelites in the Bible were white people like you and me and I prove it in this video.
They certainly weren't 'jews' who are a relatively modern invention being the descendants of the Khazars (Ashkenazi) who were a Turkic-Mongoloid nation from southern Russia who converted to Judaism around the 8th century AD.
The Bible has a surprising lot to say about the Biblical Israelites physical appearance (including skin colour) and we therefore need be in no doubt, describing them as being “white” or “fair” skinned and “ruddy” which means “To show blood (in the face), that is, flush or turn rosy” or in some cases (King David) “reddish of the hair…” (Strong’s Concordance)
Solomon records: "My beloved [of Israel] is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.” (Son 5:10 KJV)
Jeremiah describes the princes of Israel as being whiter than milk: “Her princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies…” (Lam 4:7 KJV)
Sarah, Rebekah, Joseph, King David, Tamar, Job’s daughters and Esther are all specifically described as being fair skinned.
While many of the modern translations now use a more generalised “beautiful” instead, the word “fair” used in the older translations like the King James Version should be considered more accurate since it comes from the Hebrew root word which means to “be bright, that is, (by implication)…fair” (Strong’s Concordance)
