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.

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?

Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10


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.


Where do Shem's descendants live today?

Shem descendants are from the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who was the father to the 12 tribes of Israel which today are wide spread from Central Asia - East Asia - North America through Mexico, Central America and South America. The bible says in Genesis 10:30 that Shem's descendants settled in Mesha toward Sephar in the eastern mountains and according to the New Unger's Bible Dictionary this is the Arabian area. (It appears that Shem's descendants later spread to other Far East and Middle East locations and from there migrated to other areas. Based on the scripture and the migration pattern of Shem's descendants, it appears that Shem was the progenitor of most Asian, Far East and Middle Eastern Peopl.We can say that Shem is ancestor of people in Middle East(such as Arabs,Jews,Assyrian,Chaldean,Syrian) & Yellow race people in Far East(South East Asia & East Asia) and America(Native American).
