So Jesus was a ginger?
Possibly. I wouldn't put money on it, but if the odds were asymmetric enough I wouldn't put money against it either, as I do think it's possible.
In particular I think there's insufficient consideration of the "Nazirite from birth" concepts in light of how one might establish that a baby is part of a social class one needs to sacrifice an entirely red haired cow to join and where one can't shave or cut their hair.
(Technically, while the group being discussed in Lamentations 4:7 as being ruddy and skin like milk pre-captivity are often translated as 'princes' the word is more literally translated as "Our Nazirites were...").
If John was a Nazirite from birth, and traditionally James, the brother of Jesus was a Nazirite his whole life, maybe Jesus was from an area where a number of babies came out and people looked at them and said "ok, this one is going to be a Nazirite."
But Jesus himself isn't depicted as having been a Nazirite at any point in his life so if I really had to get specific with a guess to bet on, I'd wager that Jesus had relatives and friends that may have been ginger but wasn't one himself.
I met a guy from Nazareth. Arab, but basically white. Maybe you'd think Portuguese if you didn't recognise the accent. Nice guy, don't know what happened to him but I guess he finished his degree during COVID and went somewhere.
