Jacob, the father of Israel, was the twin brother of Esau who is described as “Adomni” which is translated as ruddy, red haired, or golden haired in Gensis 25:25.Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?
David, King of Israel is also described as “Adomni” in 1 Samuel 16:12 meaning he had red or golden color hair
Joseph of the Old Testament married an Egyptian woman in Genesis 41:45 however Egyptians at this time, particularly the Egyptian elite, were fair skinned people. An examination of King Ramses II, a Biblical contemporary at the time, has showed that this Egyptian Pharo was a natural red head. In addition thousands of red and blond haired mummies have been found in Eygpt and the famous King Tut shares DNA with 50% of modern Western Europeans.
In the Bible we are told that Jesus has white or red hair. Revelation 1: 13-16 describes his hair as white as snow, or another translation can read “burning in a furnace” which would indicate red, like a flame
Also, Christian visions of Jesus/Mary do not support typical dark-skinned, "arabic" or "palestinian" type of look, but a look much more similar to an European type.
Depictions of Christ as having fair or reddish hair are the most common place depiction of Jesus since the beginning of Christianity.
It is only logical that the look of the Son of God was atypical, extraordinary and esthetic.
