More than likely they looked like any other people in their part of the world. The only difference in appearance that I know of is that the men always seemed to have beards. Now, I'm not an expert on Jewish/Hebrew traditions, so the depicting of the ancient Hebrews with beards, may have been a religious mandate or simply a custom. But overall, they would dress the same as anyone else in their neighborhood.

Answer:

Just as today, Jews (Hebrews; Israelites) came in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
