Abraham's family tree

Rare card · No. 39762

Abraham is known as the patriarch of the Israelite people through Isaac, the son born to him and Sarah in their old age, and the patriarch of the Ishmaelite people through his son Ishmael, born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian servant. He also took Keturah as a wife after the death of Sarah, and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah (Gen. 25). Although Abraham's forefathers were from Ur of the Chaldees in southern Mesopotamia (in present-day Iraq) according to the biblical narrative, God led Abraham on a journey to the land of Canaan, which God promised to his descendants.
