Abraham's Family Tree
Though his forefathers were from southern Mesopotamia, Adonai leads Abram on a journey to the land of Cannan, which he promises to Abram’s descendants. For a while, Abram lives in the region of Hebron, after which he is described as a “Hebrew.” Abraham’s family tree is connected by interesting stories. He is known as the patriarch of the Jewish people of today through Isaac, the son born to him and Sarah in their old age in fulfillment of a promise from God. Many Arabic people are also descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael, born to Abraham and his wife’s servant Hagar.
