Only the early male leaders were called Patriarchs. The female leaders were called Matriarchs. They were called Patriarchs and Matriarchs because they were the fathers and mothers of Israel.
The three Hebrew patriarchs were: Abraham (אברהם) Isaac (יצחק) Jacob (יעקב)
A:According to the Bible, the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were indeed the first Hebrew leaders. The main problem with this assumption is that they never existed. Archaeology and history show that the stories of the patriarchs could not have happened. If Jacob and his twelve sons had existed and if he migrated with them into Egypt and their descendants were enslaved, this would necessitate the Exodus from Egypt and the conquest of a new land. However, nearly all scholars say there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, and no conquest of the land of the Canaanites. The Hebrew people were themselves Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. The legends of the patriarchs developed in Israel centuries after they time they supposedly existed, as did the legends of the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan.
