4 The Patriarchs
The Story:
The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are extremely important to everything that follows in the Bible. The basic summary is this: Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac had a son named Jacob (who later is called Israel). The Hebrew nation (also called Israel, the children of Israel, the people of Israel, the Israelites, the Hebrews, and the Jews) is the descendants of Jacob.
Their stories are long and detailed in the Bible. For us getting started in the Bible, I’m going to summarize these stories a lot. As with all of the other stories, I would love for you to go read the full story yourself.
