Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 8511027" data-attributes="member: 58172">Really, Jesus can be any complexion.Israel is a landbridge between Eurasia and Africa. Its population has and has always had a broad spectrum of complexions. For example. Abraham is Aramean, whose family ultimately originates from Syria. He was in Turkey, and seems to have gained household there. Likewise, there are Hittite families. And so on, with pale complexions. David is said to be a red head. At the same time, Joseph has an Egyptian wife, and his children, the tribes of Mnashe and Efrayim are African in origin. Moses has a Kush wife, from Sudan or Ethiopia. And so on, with dark complexions. By the time of the first century, Israel included Temple pilgrims from around the known world. Heh, of course, Jesus is unlikely to look like Norse Baldr with yellow hair and white eyebrows, but still, many complexions for him are plausible.</blockquote>
