Those who know the Bible and history, understand how our Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Semitic ancestors were fair skinned (like Laban - lavan means white), some undoubtedly blond, and how Sarah was so fair skinned it attracted undue attention, and how David was rosy-cheeked (not something you say about darker skinned peoples), etc. However, our great family of White Israelites and Jews enjoy hair of every shade and different eye colors.
Joseph, the son of Israel, was described in a Midrash (Genesis Rabah 86;3), as looking like a GERMANI (i.e. like someone from the North, very white, fair, according to Maimonides) and in another passage (Talmud Sota 36) as having a face that was "pink like a rose". It follows that Joseph was considered as having been of Nordic appearance which was a known familial trait since Joseph is also said to have looked exactly like his father. [On the other hand it is implied that Joseph was exceptional in this regard]. Joseph (Ephraim and Menasseh) was the leading tribal group in the Northern Kingdom. - THE PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE HEBREW PEOPLES
