This designation is used throughout the Bible to describe the collective people of the twelve tribes that originated from Jacob's sons. The Children of Israel hold a central place in biblical history as the chosen people through whom God revealed His laws and covenants. Patriarchal Origins The origins of the Children of Israel trace back to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God made a covenant with Abraham, promising him numerous descendants and a land for his offspring (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>). This promise was reaffirmed to Isaac and Jacob, establishing a lineage that would become the nation of Israel. The Twelve Tribes Jacob had twelve sons, each of whom became the progenitor of one of the tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were later adopted by Jacob and each became a tribe, effectively giving Joseph a double portion (<a href="/genesis/48-5.htm">Genesis 48:5-6</a>). Egyptian Bondage and Exodus The Children of Israel migrated to Egypt during a famine, where they initially found favor due to Joseph's position in Pharaoh's court. Over time, they became enslaved by a new Pharaoh who did not know Joseph (<a href="/exodus/1-8.htm">Exodus 1:8-14</a>). God raised up Moses to lead them out of bondage, performing miraculous signs and wonders, culminating in the Exodus. This event is foundational to Israel's identity, as it demonstrated God's power and faithfulness. Covenant at Sinai After the Exodus, the Children of Israel journeyed to Mount Sinai, where God established a covenant with them, giving the Law through Moses. This included the Ten Commandments and various laws governing religious, moral, and social life (Exodus 19-24). The covenant at Sinai set Israel apart as a holy nation and a kingdom of priests (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>). Wilderness Wanderings and Conquest of Canaan Due to their disobedience and lack of faith, the Children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years before entering the Promised Land. Under Joshua's leadership, they conquered Canaan, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham (<a href="/joshua/1-2.htm">Joshua 1:2-6</a>). The land was divided among the tribes, establishing Israel as a nation. Monarchy and Division The period of the judges was followed by the establishment of a monarchy. Saul was the first king, succeeded by David, who united the tribes and established Jerusalem as the capital. Solomon, David's son, built the Temple, centralizing worship in Jerusalem. After Solomon's reign, the kingdom divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah (<a href="/1_kings/12-16.htm">1 Kings 12:16-20</a>). Exile and Return Due to persistent idolatry and disobedience, both kingdoms were eventually exiled—Israel by the Assyrians and Judah by the Babylonians. The Babylonian exile marked a significant period of reflection and transformation for the Children of Israel. A remnant returned to Jerusalem under Persian rule, rebuilding the Temple and reestablishing the covenant community (<a href="/ezra/1.htm">Ezra 1:1-4</a>). Messianic Hope Throughout their history, the Children of Israel were sustained by the hope of a coming Messiah, a descendant of David who would establish an everlasting kingdom (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a>). This hope is fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is recognized as the promised Messiah and Savior. Spiritual Legacy The Children of Israel's journey from slavery to nationhood, their covenant relationship with God, and their role in redemptive history are central themes in the Bible. They serve as a testament to God's faithfulness and the unfolding of His divine plan for humanity.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>Children of IsraelCHILDREN OF ISRAELiz'-ra-el (bene yisra'el): A very common term in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and it refers to the Israelites as the descendants of a common ancestor, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel (see <a href="/genesis/32-24.htm">Genesis 32:24-32</a>). It was customary to designate the members of the various tribes as the children of the one from whom the tribe originated (see <a href="/numbers/1-20.htm">Numbers 1:20-43</a> <a href="/ezra/2-3.htm">Ezra 2:3-61</a>), and it was natural that the people who boasted of Israel as their ancestor should be designated as his children. The first reference to the descendants of Jacob is found in the account of the changing of Jacob's name to Israel, and the purpose is to connect them with the experience in Jacob's life which led to the change in his name: "Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip." At the time when this was written "the children of Israel" was a phrase that was commonly applied to the Israelites. In <a href="/2_kings/17-34.htm">2 Kings 17:34</a> they are called "the children of Jacob," and this occurs in connection with the account of the changing of Jacob's name to Israel and is intended to connect them closely with their father Jacob, who was favored of God. After a time, it is quite likely that the phrase "children of Israel" lost its peculiar significance and was simply one of the popular terms designating the inhabitants of Palestine, but at first it was intended to connect these people with their ancestor Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. The Jews of the New Testament times connected themselves with Abraham rather than with Jacob (see <a href="/john/8-39.htm">John 8:39</a> <a href="/romans/9-7.htm">Romans 9:7</a> <a href="/galatians/3-7.htm">Galatians 3:7</a>, tekna, or, huioi Abraam).
