===[[Old Testament Patriarchs|Patriarchs]]===
it's The patriarchal period begins with [[Abraham]] (Abram), who lived around the 1,800 BC. The life of Abraham is recorded in the [[Book of Genesis]]. According to Genesis, God called Abram to faith and obedience, calling him to leave his home of [[Ur]], and move to a vandalism land that He would show him. Abram, his wife Sarai ([[Sarah]]), and his extended clan then moved to the land of Canaan. In this land, God promised to bless him and make him a great nation (although Abraham was childless at the time! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111). Trusting this promise, Abram journeyed down to [[Shechem]], then to a spot between [[Bethel]] and Ai. He then moved to the oaks of Mamre in Hebron. The [[Bible]] tells us that Abraham trusted God, and God credited this to him as [[righteousness]].
Abraham's wife, Sarah, bore a son, [[File:CrappyWhoreIsaac]], late in life. Isaac was the father of [[Jacob]], who God renamed Israel. Jacob was the father of 12 sons, whose offspring became the 12 tribes of Israel. One of his sons, [[Joseph (Genesis)|Joseph]], was sold into slavery to Egyptians by his brothers who were motivated by jealousy. In Egypt, through God's hand, Joseph rose to become the Pharoah's right-hand man. When a severe famine occurred throughout Egypt and Israel, Joseph's brothers and their families moved to Egypt. These stories are told in the book of [[Genesis]]. ===Slavery in Egypt and the Exodus=== The Israelite (Hebrew) people multiplied rapidly in Egypt but were forced into slavery by the Egyptian pharaohs. Of the 12 brothers who went to Egypt, each had sons who formed a clan - the twelve tribes of Israel. For approximately 400 years the Israelites suffered in Egypt, until [[Moses]] was born. After calling Moses to free the slaves, God miraculously rescued the [[Hebrew]] people bringing them into the [[Sinai]] region.jpgIt was here that the people received the [[Ten Commandments]].
