The three Hebrew patriarchs were:
Abraham (×ברה×)
Isaac (יצחק)
Jacob (יעקב)
Abraham is regarded as the patriarch by both peoples.
The first person to be called a Hebrew in the Bible was Abraham. He is considered the patriarch of the Hebrew people and is mentioned in the book of Genesis.
Abraham is called a patriarch because he was one of the three forefathers of the Israelite Nation.The definition of patriarch is: "One of the scriptural fathers of the human race or of the Hebrew people"
The patriarchs of God's people as followed: 1. Adam who was the father of all people. 2. Enosh was the patriarch who directed people back to acknowledging God. 3. Noah was the patriarch of all the people after the flood. 4. Abraham who became the patriarch of many nations. 5. Isaac and Israel are the patriarch's of the Israelites ( consists of two groups of people: tne Nation of Israel and the Nation of Judah)

They believed in one God and in the Torah which He gave.The Hebrews, according to tradition, were (and are) a Semitic people (descendants of Shem; see Genesis ch.11). More specifically, "Hebrews" comes from Ever (Eber), a great-grandson of Shem and ancestor of Abraham.

A patriarch is a "father who rules", i.e., a significant ancestor. The patriarchs in Judaism are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's twelve sons.A prophet is a person who declares God's words to other people.So most of the prophets were not patriarchs, and a patriarch need not be a prophet. Although the Bible tells us that Abraham talked to God, it does not indicate that he spent much time repeating God's words to anyone outside his own family. There is even less evidence that Isaac or Jacob did any such thing.You probably can count Abraham as a prophet, but in Jewish history, his role as a patriarch is more important.___________________________________________________________The patriarch is assigned by people but the prophet is assigned by God. Some God prophets are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Jacob, Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
