Is Jacob the father of Joseph?
Jewish.
Another Answer:
At this point on the timeline of man, Joseph's father, Jacob/Israel was a Hebrew as the grandson of Abram - Abraham:
Genesis 14:13New International Version (NIV)13 A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew.
God was in direct communication with Israel and then Joseph. There was no organized religion or Priests. Collectively, the 12 sons and 1 daughter of Israel became known as Israelites.
Eventually, after the death of King Solomon (circa 930 BC) and the dividing the Kingdom of Israel into the Northern Kingdom called Israel and the Southern Kingdom called Judah, the dominant tribe of the Southern Kingdom was the 4th son of Israel, Judah. After this time and during their Babylonian captivity, the people of the Southern Kingdom became known as Jew.
Judges is the book that comes before the Book of Ruth in the Christian Old Testament. The Hebrew Bible is organized differently; there, the Song of Songs comes before the Book of Ruth.
What role does Abraham play in salvation history?
Abraham was chosen to see the Saviour would be born in His descended and that's what God planned when He said, through your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Abraham Seed, Jesus Christ and only through Jesus Christ all the families of the earth finds salvation and the blessings of God.
The story in the Bible says that Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. The story recognises that these were improbable ages, saying that Abraham laughed when God told him that he would have a son at such a great age. They are also nice, round numbers because the tradents who passed these stories down orally into the first millennium BCE generally used numbers that were easy to remember. The name Isaac, meaning 'He laughs' and a reference to Abraham laughing when told that Isaac would be born, was more likely another prompt so that the tradents could easily associate the correct names with the storylines. If there had been an Isaac, his name was changed to suit the story-tellers.
Even Isaac's age when he died is a giveaway, as are the ages of Abraham and Jacob. Not just because they were so impossibly great, but because they point to the secret use of numerology based on the number 17:
- Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)
- Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)
- Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3
- Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),
- the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)
- in each case the sum of the factors is 17.
Finally, if the Patriarchs lived, then the Israelites should have sojourned in Egypt just as the Bible says, but there is no evidence of this in the Egyptian records. If Moses did not live then it is also likely that Isaac did not live. For Moses to have lived, there would have to have been an Exodus from slavery in Egypt and a military conquest of the land of the Canaanites. Not only do almost all scholars say there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt and that there was no unified conquest of the Canaanites, they say that the Hebrew people were really Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. There was no biblical Moses and there was no Hebrew Patriarch called Isaac.
Answer:
According to God, yes:
Matthew 22:32New King James Version (NKJV)32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
What were the ten commandments based on?
The 10 commandments were what God set to be the first laws/rules of the land because the Israelites were sinning. The commandments were given to the Israelites twice. The 10 commandments were the covanent between God and the Isrealites.
Exodus 24: 3 When Moses went and told the people all the LORD's words and laws, they responded with one voice, "Everything the LORD has said we will do." 4 Moses then wrote down everything the LORD had said.
Here are the 10 Commandments as listed from the Bible from Exodus 20
Exodus 201 And God spoke all these words:
2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 "You shall have no other gods before [a] me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
13 "You shall not murder.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Nehemiah 1:1 "The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah..."
What verse in the bible says that a woman shall not put on that which pertains to a man?
Deuteronomy 22:5 from the Bible states, "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." This verse is often interpreted as a prohibition against cross-dressing.
What is the name of Sarah's handmaid that Abraham went into and had Ishmael?

Did and Cain and Abel marry their sisters?
In the biblical story of Cain and Abel, it is not explicitly mentioned that they married their sisters. The Bible does mention that Adam and Eve were the first humans and had sons and daughters, so it is possible in that context. However, details are not provided about their marriages.
How is God's covenant with Noah different from his covenant with Abraham?
The story of Noah is a creation story and its purpose was to help explain where we came from and why things are the way they are. In this story, God made a great flood that covered the whole earth but, after the flood subsided, made a covenant with Noah that he would never again send a flood to destroy humanity. The sign of his covenant was the rainbow.
The story of Abraham, in the form we have today, was a story of the Hebrew people. Its purpose was to help explain where the people came from and why they lived in the land of Israel. The covenant had two important parts: to make Abraham the father of many nations and to make him the father of a great nation. As an Israelite legend, this meant that the great nation would be Israel. Thus the Israelites learnt that they were descended from a great leader who had come from Ur of the Chaldees to live in the Promised Land, but not yet to settle and own it to the exclusion of others. The sign of God's covenant would be the circumcision of all Abraham's male descendants.
Is it true or false that god and Israel made a covenant or solemn agreement at Mount Sinai?
There is no historical evidence of such a meeting (in terms of archaeological discoveries), but then again many meetings and events occurred in the Ancient Period for which there is no hard evidence. It really comes down to whether you believe that the account provided in the Old Testament is historical or not.
What happened to those who sinned and died before the Ten Commandments was given?
Romans 5:13,14 (NCV)
13 Sin was in the world before the law of Moses, but sin is not counted against us as breaking a command when there is no law. 14 But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, everyone had to die, even those who had not sinned by breaking a command, as Adam had.
Who was the two tribes that remained in the southern kingdom?

What are theological implications of being created in God's image?
It is in the first creation story that man (both male and female) is made in God's image (Genesis 1:27), in other words they are god-like. One of the theological implications of this is that both male and female are equally god-like and therefore neither can be subordinate to the other. This is something often forgotten by the institutional churches as they look for biblical precedents to support the subordination of women.
In the second creation story, Adam is made out of dirt and not god-like. He only becomes god-like at the end - "now the man is become like one of us (Genesis 3:22)" and only because of his disobedience. The physical appearance of Adam and Eve is not at issue, because this story already had God walking and talking in the Garden of Eden just like a man, yet it was only after they ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that Adam and Eve became like "one of us (the gods)."
