A patriarch is a male who heads a family, clan or tribe. You can find this definition in a dictionary. In The Bible, the Patriarchs are Abaham, Abraham's second son, Isaac, and Isaac's second son, Jacob. God changed Abraham's name from Abram to Abraham. God also changed Jacob's name to Israel. Most of the information about the Patriarchs can be found in the book of Genesis.
