Tell the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac. God is working with a tribe, and builds out of them a people. God makes a covenant with Abraham to make his descendants numerous, to give him a land, to bless the nations through his descendants, and among them shall be royalty.

The son of Isaac is Jacob. Jacob has twelve sons, each fathers a tribe of people and become known as the twelve tribes of Israel. Israel is the name of Jacob, which means one who wrestled with God and lived.

At the end of Genesis Israel is living in prosperity in Egypt.
