Abraham's family tree

Abraham is known as the patriarch of the Israelite people through Isaac, the son born to him and Sarah in their old age and the patriarch of Arabs through his son Ishmael, born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian servant.

Although Abraham's forefathers were from southern Mesopotamia (in present-day Iraq)[1] according to the biblical narrative, their deity Yahweh led Abraham on a journey to the land of Canaan, which he promised to his children.
