Oculocutaneous albinism is what it is called. The "complete" and "plain" one with all of the melanin is Jacob. Shemitic looking in this case = black/brown (eumelanin). So, Jacob was a black person. Esau and Jacob were fraternal twins where the placentas fused at one point allowing them to fight.
Of course, Esau and Jacob symbolically represent the primitive animalistic aggression and tame spiritual peacefulness respectively.
This sort of gives an idea of the story of Esau and Jacob: Look up on huffingtonpost in the year 2015/03/02/ for biracial-twins-lucy-maria-aylmer.

Did the Israelite people march with the army around Jericho?
According to the Book of Joshua, all the men of war marched around the city walls. Against this, archaeologists say that there was no city of Jericho at this time. Scholars say that the story was probably an elaboration of a real siege that occurred much earlier against the city of Megiddo. In that siege, the king's army marched around the walls of Megiddo making as much noise as possible, day after day. When the defendants tired of following their attackers around the walls, the army suddenly attacked, breached the walls and entered the city unopposed.

Why did Noah punish Canaan instead of Ham?
When Noah realises what has happened, he curses not Ham but Ham's future son Canaan, saying that he (his descendants) will forever be slaves for his brethren. The curse can be seen as part of a passage that seeks to justify future hatred of the Canaanites: (Genesis 9:24) "And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
This passage had such obvious political implications that we do not need to believe that it really happened. Noah cursed, not Ham, but Ham's son Canaan, and said that Canaan would forever be the servant to his brethren. When this story was written down, the Canaanites, biblical descendants of the legendary Canaan, were the despised competitors of the Israelites. The curse can be seen as part of a passage that seeks to justify hatred of the Canaanites at the time the story was being told.

What was Queen Esther's real name?
If you look at the bible, it tells you that Esther means star and it was an assumed name so she wouldn't be persecuted for her Jewish background. It tells us that her real name was Hadassah.
Est 2:7 And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
Est 2:15 Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.
Samuel was faithful and dedicated to serving God, actively listening and obeying Him. In contrast, Eli's sons were corrupt and engaged in sinful behavior, showing disrespect for God's laws. The people were also disobedient and strayed from God's ways.
Were shem ham japheth triplets?
This is a difficulty. Noah's wife could not have three pregnancies all in Noah's 500th year. However, it is said that Noah was 600 when he went into the ark. His son, Shem begot Arphaxad when Shem was 100, two years after the flood. (Gen. 11: 10). This means Noah must have been 502, when Shem was born. Gen. 10: 21 calls Shem the "brother of Japheth the elder" in the NKJV. Some other translations say, “Shem the older brother of Japheth.” So, it is hard to determine the correct birth order. Gen. 9: 24 calls Ham, Noah’s “younger son” in the NKJV. Again, other translations call him the “youngest son.” This still doesn’t address the triplet question, though. Multiple births still emphasize birth order. A lot is made of Esau having the rights of the first-born, even though Jacob is his twin. What could be meant is that Noah was “about 500” when his three sons were born. But this seems a bit unsatisfactory, doesn’t it?
