Hello, I look forward to hering your remark on this subject. Tudor Parfitt the Welch has done remarkable research in dealing with the Lemba's. Yet I have on question and that is; is he comparing the DNA of the modern Jews to that of the Lemba. It is a proven fact that the modern day Jews have nothing to do with the ancient Hebrew Ysraelites. If that is what he is comparing it to than there is a problem. The modern day Jews are from Turkey. And have not an ounce of Hebrew blood in them. Here is a good site to read upon there modern history.

The fact of the matter is; whether we believe the bible or not it has become quite apparent that it make strong referrence to the colour of the original Hebrews. for example I will give a few scriptures here. Remember the KJV was written 400 years ago and they left trace of who the original Hebrew are.

<> My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

When black people get real sick or famish they get darker, unlike white people they get pale as I have examined in the Jewish holocust.

<> For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me
<> Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
<> Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
<> Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

Once again when black people get sick their skin gets darker unlike white people their skin get pale and veiny (meaning you can see their veins). Then we the brass skin colour, which is over looked, yet it is very important in identifing what colour original Hebrews were. Brass is a dark-skin colour as most Afro-American have. Here is a website that show you the colour of brass.

Now when the bible made referrence to angels and other being they claimed that they had skin colour as brass or burnt brass (oxidated) and the colour.

<> I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

<> His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

<> Above it stood the seraphims (means "burnt ones"): each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

So to call a Hebrew a Jew and a Jew a Hebrew wouldn't be proper at all. White people cannot compare DNA with the modern people in Ysrael.

Shalom
