The Ancient Hebrews had typical Semitic features, much like Arabs, Turks, and Greeks today.

Answer:According to our traditions, the Arabs have a significant percentage of Hamitic admixture (Genesis 16:1 and 21:21, referring to Ishmael). And the Greeks and Turks are not Semitic; they're descendants of Japhet (see Genesis ch.10).

The Torah points out that Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel were all very beautiful (Genesis 12:14; 24:16; and 29:17). Abraham, Jacob and Joseph were very handsome (see Talmud, Bava Metzia 84a and Bava Batra 58a).

Our traditions state that the Israelites were of fair-skinned Mediterranean complexion, though their skin tone was not as light as that of the Scandinavians. And each of the Twelve Tribes differed somewhat in their appearance.
