Although the nations of Egypt, Assyria and Babylon were founded long before the Kingdom of Israel was established, the history of Israel is the most fascinating of all! The nation of Israel has descended from SHEM through the Patriarchs — (1) Abraham (2) Isaac and (3) Jacob. JACOB, whose name was later changed to ISRAEL (Gen. 32:28), was the father of the TWELVE sons who became the founding fathers of the TWELVE TRIBES comprising the nation of Israel. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
