Although it is doubtful that this cannot be answered definitively, it is likely that this refers to the fact that God was the God of the fathers of the Hebrew people. He thus had always been their God, even before the giving of the Law and the Exodus etc. The implication is of course that, as God had always been the god of the Hebrews they should continue to follow Him.
The use of this terminology begins in Exodus 3. God, being the God of Abraham, who was the genetic father of the Israelite nation was the God that they were to follow down through history, just as He had chosen them to be His people.
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.
Abraham's daughter is a retelling of the bible story of Arbaham and Isaac. In the bible, Arbraham takes Isaac and is about to sacrifice him because god said to, but is stopped by an angel who tells him he no longer has to sacrifice Isaac because he fears god, then Abraham and Isaac sacrifice a ram instead. In the song though, Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac and the angel is not stopping, but encouraging him. Instead of Isaac being an only child, he has a nameless sister who was raised to support the sacrificing if her brother ("raised for the slaughter") The daughter stands from where she was hiding and stops Abraham from killing Isaac telling him to sacrifice her instead. In this case she is the ram. She forces him to release isaac or she would kill him with an arrow (" then she raised her bow")
The tribes of Israel are descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. The tribes are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.
This was before Abraham had his name changed: Gen 12:1 The LORD said to Abram, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's home, and go to a land that I am going to show you.
Answer 1Abraham, according to the Christian Bible, was a member of the Jewish tribe. The term Israelite is usually used by the church to refer to the Jewish peoples of the bible. At the time of his life, the Jews had not yet been exiled from their homeland, so he was in fact an Israelite Jew.Answer 2No. As a purely definitional issue, Abraham cannot be an Israelite. An Israelite means that someone is a descendant of Israel. Since Israel is Abraham's grandson, Abraham cannot be a descendant of Israel and therefore cannot be an Israelite. Abraham was a Hebrew (ethnically) and, according to both Jews and Christians, a Jew (religiously).
The question may refer to the names "Jacob" and "Israel" for the same biblical person.But "father of the Hebrew people" is a debatable title for him, since the syllable "AV" in thename of Jacob's grandfather Abraham translates as "father", and Abraham is indeed consideredto have been the father of Judaism.

Abraham's daughter is a retelling of the bible story of Arbaham and Isaac. In the bible, Arbraham takes Isaac and is about to sacrifice him because god said to, but is stopped by an angel who tells him he no longer has to sacrifice Isaac because he fears god, then Abraham and Isaac sacrifice a ram instead.

It was Jacob who fought an angel (messenger) of the Lord.(He did not wrestle with God himself, only with an angel. The notion that he wrestled with God is based on a mistranslation of Genesis 32:29. The word Elohim, in some contexts such as this one, does not refer to God.)
Abram/Abraham/Ibrahim is regarded as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Baha'i. He wouldn't have used any of those terms to refer to himself, because none of them existed when he was alive.
Note that Isaac wasn't actually sacrificed by Abraham. It was a test that God was using to see to what lengths Abraham would go to serve him.The following observations are made on the website www.lavistachurchofchrist.org: "The Bible does not give a specific age, but there are events surrounding Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac which gives us clues. Most scholars believe that Isaac was in his late teen's or early twenties at the time of the offering. At the time that Isaac was conceived, we are told that Abraham was 99 years old, his wife Sarah was 90, and Ishmael was 13 (Genesis 17:1, 17, 25). Ishmael was sent out of Abraham's house at the time Isaac was weaned (Genesis 21). The age of weaning varies greatly between cultures but typically it would be between the ages of 2 and 5. The next given event is a covenant between Abraham and Abimelech, but no ages are given to tell us when this occurred. It was some time after this covenant that Isaac was offered. After the sacrifice of Isaac came news of Abraham's relatives in Haran and then we are told that Sarah died at the age of 127 (Genesis 23:1). Hence, the sacrifice of Isaac must have occurred between the age of 5 and 36, which is quite a broad span. In addition, Isaac is referred to as a "lad" or na'ar in Hebrew in Genesis 22:5 and 12. This noun is used to refer to a male from infancy to young adult not yet married. For example, Joseph is called a lad at the age of seventeen (Genesis 37:2) and at the age of thirty (Genesis 41:12, 46). We do have some further clues. Isaac is old enough to travel three days with Abraham but without his mother. His conversation with Abraham is that of an older child or a young adult. Finally, Isaac is the one who carried the wood for the sacrifice up the mountain (Genesis 22:6). The latter is strong evidence that Isaac was no longer a small child and serves as the main reason that our best guess is that he was at least in his late teens."

I am not sure who you refer to in your question. There is an Old Testment patriarch named Isaac as well as a number of more modern saints named Isaac.
No he doesn't
In daily conversation, most Jews refer to The Creator as 'HaShem' which literally means 'The Name'. Although HaShem is described in terms of being the Father of man, it's not a common way to refer to Him in Judaism.
akeidah (עֲקִידָה), pronounced ah-kay-dah = binding In religious Jewish circles, this term is usually used to refer to the Binding of Isaac when Abraham was supposed to sacrifice him, in Genesis ch. 22.
