The modern-day Jews, Hebrews, and Samaritans can trace their ancestry back to the biblical Israelites.However, skin color, pigmentation, biological race, or ethnicity does not play as big a part in their connection with Yahweh as the FACT that he simply CHOSE them. “… the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people...” (Deuteronomy 7:6). Yahweh changed Jacob’s name to Israel. “… What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel….” (Genesis 32:28-29 NASB). Once Yahweh changed their name they were often called “the Sons of Israel” or “the Children of Israel.” “…Moses spoke to the children of Israel…” (Deuteronomy 1:3 NASB). “… He said to the sons of Israel...” (Joshua 4:21 NASB). Of all the people on earth, Yahweh decided to show MERCY and special treatment to the people of Israel. “…it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it…” (Romans 9:14-16 NLT). . “… the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people...” (Deuteronomy 7:6). The Israelites became a mixture of races and ethnicities; natives and foreigners; bought together through their shared worship of Yahweh and NOT the kinship of skin color, pigmentation, or biological race. “… the sons of Israel…. A mixed multitude also went up with them…” (Exodus 12:37-38 NASB). THAT'S WHY I SAY "THE COLOR OF SUPERIORITY IS HOLY"

PREFACE
SKIN COLOR or BIOLOGICAL RACE
“…you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light …” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB).
“… If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land…” (1 CHRONICLES 7:14 NASB).

COLOR as it relates to RACE strictly refers to the PIGMENT of someone’s skin TONE. “What COLOR is she?” “What COLOR is he?”
RACE usually refer to groups of people who SHARE or HAVE biological features or physical characteristics such as skin tone, hair, bone structure, DNA, or eye color.
Ethnicity refers to groups of people who SHARE or HAVE a common culture, traditions, ancestry, or language.
Different RACES have various shades of skin color from pale white to dark brown. Different ethnicities give less credence to skin color, as much as country identification, or traits, cultural ties, and ancestral associations. You can be a mixed race, and belong or identify with only ONE ethnicity.
Race and ethnicity are more often than not used interchangeably, but both aid in understanding the different ways people identify themselves racially and ethnically.
The biblical Israelites were Semitic-speaking people in Ancient Near East also known as Hebrews or Jews
They were members of one of the twelve biblical tribes who were direct descendants of Jacob.
