Joseph is sometimes thought of as the fourth Patriarch. His lifespan of 110 years is linked to those of his three biblical ancestors, because 110 = 5X5 + 6X6 + 7X7.
Human sacrifice: The story of the intended sacrifice by Abraham of his son Isaac suggests that early Israelites did indeed offer human sacrifices, although this story can be interpreted as saying that God no longer wants human sacrifices. Other biblical evidence for this includes the passage in which Jephthah sacrificed his daughter to God (Judges 11:31ff). Whereas the story of Abraham and Isaac was given a happy ending, this was probably allowed to remain intact because the victim was only female. Another example is King Ahaz of Judah being criticised in 2 Chronicles 28:1-3 because he sacrificed his children. So, Abraham's promise to sacrifice Isaac was not an isolated incident where God was merely testing Abraham, but part of an established Hebrew tradition.
Moon worshipKeel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses, and Images of God: In Ancient Israel) describe thousands of artefacts found in Palestine from the Middle Bronze Age down to the time of the Babylonian Exile, many of which demonstrate that the Israelites worshipped the moon god. Keel and Uehlinger cite Lang, who says of Israelite and Jewish beliefs prior to the Babylonian Exile:"In the four and a half centuries during which there were one or two Israelite monarchies (ca. 1020-586 B.C.), there was a dominant, polytheistic religion that was indistinguishable from that of neighboring peoples. Insofar as there were differences between the Ammonite, Moabite, Edomite, Tyrian, etc. versions of religion, these beliefs stayed within the framework of Near Eastern polytheism, and each should be interpreted as a local variant of the same basic pattern. The Israelites . . . venerated their own protector god who was there to provide for health and family. But they venerated Yahweh [God] as well, the regional and national god, whose special domain dealt with war and peace issues. Finally, they worshiped gods who performed specific functions, those that were responsible for various special needs: weather, rain, women's fertility, etc."This is relevant because there is tantalising evidence in the stories of the Patriarchs that they were originally worshipped as manifestations of the moon god, before their role evolved into that of human ancestors. This is a complex field of study.
