The Patriarchs

The Patriarchs refer to the founding fathers of the Israelite nation, primarily Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. According to the Bible, God made special covenants with them, promising land, descendants, and blessing. These figures are central to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, illustrating themes of faith, promise, and God's relationship with His people. Their stories are foundational to understanding the origins of the Israelites and the development of monotheism in history.
