He is the father of the twelve tribes of Israel, which are central to the narrative of the Old Testament. Jacob's life is marked by his struggle with God, which is emblematic of the nation of Israel's own struggles. His story is found in <a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25-50</a>. Jacob's name change to Israel (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm">Genesis 32:28</a>) signifies his transformation and the birth of a nation. This lineage highlights Jesus' connection to the covenant promises given to the patriarchs.the son of Isaac Isaac is the son of Abraham and Sarah, a child of promise born when his parents were advanced in age (<a href="/genesis/21.htm">Genesis 21:1-3</a>). His near-sacrifice by Abraham on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22) is a profound foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice, illustrating themes of faith and obedience. Isaac's life is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises, and his inclusion in Jesus' genealogy underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan.the son of Abraham Abraham is a foundational figure in the Bible, known as the father of faith. God's covenant with Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3, 15</a>:1-21) includes promises of land, descendants, and blessing, which are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Abraham's faith and obedience are highlighted in the New Testament (Romans 4, <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a>), and his role as the patriarch of the Israelites establishes the lineage through which the Messiah would come. Abraham's story is central to understanding God's plan for salvation.the son of Terah Terah is the father of Abraham, Nahor, and Haran (<a href="/genesis/11-26.htm">Genesis 11:26</a>). He originally set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan but settled in Haran instead (<a href="/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a>). Terah's journey sets the stage for Abraham's call and the subsequent unfolding of God's covenantal promises. His mention in the genealogy emphasizes the historical and familial context of God's work through Abraham's line.the son of Nahor Nahor is the grandfather of Abraham and the son of Serug (<a href="/genesis/11-22.htm">Genesis 11:22-25</a>). He is part of the genealogical line that traces back to Shem, one of Noah's sons, linking the post-flood world to the patriarchs. Nahor's inclusion in the genealogy serves to connect Jesus to the broader narrative of God's dealings with humanity, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan from creation through the patriarchs to the coming of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a> Also known as Israel, he is a patriarch whose twelve sons became the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel.
