Yes he is black ....Jesus descended from the line of Shem

Answer:No. According to tradition, Jacob was a student of Shem, so we Jews possess a line of tradition stretching straight back to Shem; and our information is that Shem was of Mediterranean (olive) pigmentation, not black.

Shem, a biblical figure, was not specifically described as being black. Biblical genealogies mostly focus on lineage and family relationships. The racial identities of biblical figures are not explicitly mentioned in the texts.

Yes. Because if the original man was black then so was "everyone " else in this time bracket. It wasn't until Japhet his brother after the flood during the exile of the tower of babel by God that his complexion lighten due to surviving colder climate change in the north. Else one third of the world would've been wiped out. So basically up until the changing of languages all people were of one complexion and that is black. Other Semites such as Moses, and Joseph, Visor of Egypt's' brothers were mistaken for being a Semite, because they were black.

Was enoch black or white?

Judging from biblical history, Enoch was NOT caucasian. Enoch is a black African. THere was three sons. HAm SHem and JAphat. JAphat is white, Shem is black, Ham is black. Hamites are Canaanites, Cushites which are Ethiopians, Mizraim, and Phut. Genesis 10:6-9 Cushites are Ethiopians. Ethiopians ARE BLACK.


Is Jesus related to Shem?

There is no direct evidence that Jesus is related to Shem, but some people believe that they may be related indirectly. Shem was one of the sons of Noah, and Noah is a direct ancestor of Abraham, who is a direct ancestor of Jesus. So, if Shem and Noah are related, then Jesus may be related to Shem indirectly. However, there is no way to know for sure if this is the case.


How many sons did shem have?

Shem was a son of Noah, and accompanied him on the Ark. (Gen 6:10ff.) After landing, Shem fathered sons: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. (Gen 10:22) We loose count here because Gen 11:11 tells us that Shem live 500 yrs, and had more sons and daughters ... no names or numbers. Further,1 Chron 1:17 gives us names of 4 more sons of Shem in addition to the ones mentioned above, viz: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.


Who were the three sons of Noah?

The three sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They were believed to be the ancestors of all the different nations and peoples in the world.


How old was Shem when he died?

According to Genesis 11:10-11, Shem was 600 years old when he died. This part of Genesis has all the hallmarks of fiction, so we should not accept this as Shem's real age even if he was a real, historical person. Noah was 500 years old when he first became a father (Genesis 5:32) and the Flood happened when Noah was 600 (Genesis 7:11). Shem was exactly 100 years old when he became a father, and then lived to 600 years. Too many nice, round numbers.
