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.

Jews
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.
According the the bible, Judaism originated with the 3 patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Or in Hebrew, it would sound more like Avraham, Yitzhak, and Yaacob.)
The symbol of the queen of patriarchs is often represented by the figure of Sarah, the wife of Abraham in the Hebrew Bible. She embodies qualities such as faith, strength, and motherhood, serving as a matriarch in the Jewish tradition. In various religious contexts, she is associated with fertility and divine promise, reflecting her pivotal role in the lineage of the Jewish people. Her legacy as a queen of patriarchs highlights the importance of women in the biblical narrative.
