It was [and is] the same covenant God made with his grandfather, Abraham. Jacob [Israel] inherited it from his father, Isaac, who inherited it from his father, Abraham... who received it from God.

"...unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; and I will make thy seed multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My Commandments, My statutes, and My laws." (Gen.26:3-5)

God promised Abraham "the earth" [the Kingdom of God]... and that through his Seed [the Messiah] "the Salvation of mankind."

Jacob's covenant with God is the same one for which all of God's Faithful seek: Eternal Life in God's Kingdom.

It's the same covenant that God reconfirmed to Jacob's children following over 400 years in bondage in Egypt:

"And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with ABRAHAM, with ISAAC, and with JACOB." (Ex.2:24)

It's the same covenant which people of Faith [the heirs of Salvation - Heb.1:14] may also inherit through Jesus Christ [the earth; the Kingdom of God, which Jesus shall establish on earth]... and give to them.

"...if ye be Christ's, then ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and heirs according to the promise [covenant]." (Gal.3:29)

"For the promise [covenant], that he should be the HEIR OF THE WORLD, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the Righteousness of Faith." (Rom.4:13)

God's covenant with Jacob is being fulfilled by Jesus Christ... the Author of our Salvation, who shall give the "Promised Land" [the earth] to His Faithful brothers and sisters.

"...Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdomprepared for you from the foundation of the world..." (Matt.25:34).

"...ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:28)

Abraham made a covenant with God; and God swore also to Isaac and Jacob that He would uphold the covenant of Abraham with them too. For Joseph, no such statement or covenant was made.

Who was God's first chosen patriarch?

That depends upon what you mean by "chosen." Noah was chosen (with his family) by God, to survive the Flood (Genesis 6), but not for a Divine covenant of status for his descendants. Abraham was chosen by God to father a nation that would serve God and have His covenant forever (Genesis 17). It eventually became clear that out of Abraham's children and grandchildren, only Isaac and Jacob (and Jacob's descendants) would continue in God's covenant (Genesis 26 and 28). Jacob fathered the Israelites.


How many times did God appear to Jacob?

God appeared to Jacob several times in the biblical narrative. Notably, He first appeared in a dream at Bethel, where Jacob saw a ladder reaching to heaven (Genesis 28:12-15). God later spoke to Jacob again when he was at Mahanaim (Genesis 32:1-2) and reaffirmed His covenant with him. Additionally, God appeared to Jacob after he had wrestled with an angel, which is often interpreted as an encounter with God Himself (Genesis 32:24-30).

Why God did not tell men who were before Moses to record the word of God?

Before the time of Moses God spoke to people eg Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) so maybe there were some things written down. However it wasn't until after the exodus from Egypt that God made the covenant with the nation of Israel and that's when Moses recorded the laws of the covenant.
