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
The above scripture was not written by "Hebrew Israelites"...
Yes, I know that.
Lol...But that IS the single verse they refer to from the Song of Solomon that they offer up as undeniable PROOF that ALL original Hebrews were were Black, when that made-up verse could've just as easily been intended to be an expression of Pharoah's daughter; his lover/wife. Meaning that she was black, but not him necessarily. Especially if when one considers her description of Solomon:
Song of Solomon 5: 10-15-
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold
IDK...Seems like she's describing a dark-haired, racially ambiguous, olive-complexioned fella to me.
And again...Call me crazy, but given the location of Egypt it makes sense that the ancient Hebrews would've been diverse racially/phenotypically.
Unsubstantiated religious texts aside.
If the Egyptians were so diverse, why were people so quick to judge who was an Egyptian based on appearance?
Moses was assumed to be an Egyptian by Jethros daughters.
Paul was assumed to be an Egyptian even though he was speaking Greek.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubian_pyramids
Quote:Nubian pyramids are pyramids that were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdoms. The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies within the north of present day Sudan, was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity. The first had its capital at Kerma (2500–1500 BC). The second was centered on Napata (1000–300 BC). Finally, the last kingdom was centered on Meroë (300 BC–AD 300). They are built of granite and sandstone. The pyramids were partially demolished by Italian combat medic turned explorer and treasure hunter Giuseppe Ferlini in the 1830s.
As we can see, Egyptian and Nubian cultures were similar.
Also the Zondervan bible dictionary who can't be further away from being Hebrew Israelites admit as much

If I say it though, I'm a Hebrew Israelite....

At the end of the day, I don't believe I am in any position to Judge the wisdom of an omniscient being...
So you're willing to just ACCEPT that you and your people are deserving of slavery, oppression, torture, murder, etc based on some broken Negroes' dressed up as Power Rangers likely misinterpretation of a single verse, eh?
Okay. Got it.
Let's say I don't accept it, what do you suggest I do about it?
