It don't really matter, I am wondering?

I am trying to learn where and when all the differant Races came to be in the bible. After Babylone.

The reason is the tower of Bablyon all race went there own way, i wanted to know where they ended up, and how they came back to be in the bible

I promise it not a racist questiong Honest..

Answer 1

He was neither, he was a hebrew, who where not black, or very light. They where perhaps a little like modern day Sephardi Jews.

His wife, Hagar, who was Egyptian was black.

Answer 2

Babylon was before Abraham. He was about the same color as any one else in the region of the middle east. Brown. When God separated men at the tower of Babel by language is believed by most, but Nimrod, who founded Babylon, and became the first defied human after the flood, is said to be a giant black man. I don't know if it really matters, all I know for certain is that we are decedents of Noah, who is a decedent of Adam. Take a look at a world map to find out were the major races ended up. The ones in the bible are major, and sub races. They are there because they came into contact with Gods people. That is why the Chinese, for instance, are not mentioned by name.

Answer 3

The various races came from the genes of Noah's three sons. If you look at the book of Genesis it will tell you the three areas of the world where the sons settled after the flood. I'm pretty sure Ham was the one that carried the ***** race. Abraham was of the middle eastern race. Not black but not white either.

Answer 4

I think the races stem from the three sons of Noah. One son (I forget who without looking) went to Africa. His son, Canan became the father of the Cananites who (as far as I can tell) are the black race. So if Abraham was a descendant of Canan he was probably black. If not then he was probably another race. Another way to look at it is, Abraham is the father of the Jews. Very few modern Jews are black, so for that reason I don't think it is likely he was black. I hope I worded everything ok. I'm not racist either.

Answer 5

Well--depends what you mean by "black". He was certainly unlikely to be white/caucasian. Very very unlikely. Dark skinned, dark eyed, yes.How dark....? Don't know.
It's not a very specific answer--there is info available on the probable location of events that took place, as told in the Bible, and the probable specific geneology/racial groupings of the people mentioned. I am tired though, and have been answering questions for hours, lol. Good luck.

Answer 6

Yes it happened after Babylon, but I don't think abraham was a black man.

Answer 7

we believe the races were a result of God's actions at the fall of the tower of Babel ... Abraham was jewish ... Moses was ... Jesus was.

Answer 8

all of them even jesus were born either arab or jewish of course. white people always portray them as white but they were all born in and around the gulf.

Answer 9

I think it was a white man, why?

Answer 10
