I did read it but as you state that doesnt jibe with white being a sign of purity. It means white is a sign of dishonor. However, none of your deflections address the question.That may be true but you miss the point. Obviously turning Miriam white was not seen as a sign of purity. It was a punishment. Did you forget about that? Also as I asked before. Why would turning Moses hand spotted white be seen as a more impressive miracle than turning a stick into a snake? If Moses was already white as you are claiming without a shred of proof then you wouldnt be able to see the spots from more than 10 ft away.When would having white skin not be having white skin?. If skin color was irrelevant why did god turn Miriam white? Why did god turn mosses hand white? Why did the Hebrews say their skin was Black due to famine?
Excellent questions... Still, being turned white has nothing to do with skin color.
You never explained what made you think the guys in the picture had Black hair. Care to tell me?
Sure, just as soon as you care to tell me how you have concluded that the people in this picture have black hair and represent black Hebrews..

Well I asked you first. Please dont deflect. BTW thank you for tackling the skin color issue. Everyone else avoided it like the plague.
White people often have white spots on their flesh toned skin which are not leprous or an indication of a defiling skin disease or an implication that they were first black.
What does that have to do with anything? In scripture by and large white is associated with purity not skin color.
Do you think the cloud that lifted from above the tent was a freakish weather phenomenon too?

If you ever bothered to read the CAUSE of tzaris, you would know it's caused by Lashon Harah (speaking evil of people).
Hashem was illustrating to Moshe not to say that the Children of Israel would not believe was going to save them from Egypt.
