This article deals with the formation process of the traditions concerning the three patriarchs from the book of Genesis. It can already be stated that the traditions of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were initially formed independently of one other. The chronological priority should be assigned to the tradition of Jacob. It was originally combined with the tradition of Isaac (in Amos), and before the exile it constituted the earliest point of reference for the search of roots and identity. It was only towards the end of the exile that the particular time and situation resulted in the local, Judaean traditions of Abraham starting to play a greater role also in the theological aspect. Abraham became then not only a model of faith, and an example of behaviour for the exiles and the repatriates, but also the first link in the chain of the three patriarchs. Some motifs in the story of Abraham may have been at that time borrowed from the traditions of Isaac (cf. Gen 26).

The popularity that the Book of Genesis enjoyed among the membersof the Qumran community (28 or more copies) undoubtedly accounted forthe great number of the works inspired by its content that functioned as theparaphrase of the biblical material. Hence, in the scrolls interpreting thenarrative of Gen 12–50 there were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls there arerelatively many references and allusions to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaacand Jacob. Unfortunately, most of the texts – apart from the Genesis Apocryphon(1QapGen) – survived in a very fragmentary state only, thereforetheir interpretation meets serious difficulties and any conclusions should bedrawn with the extreme cautiousness. Nevertheless, it can be acknowledgedthat, in many cases, the authors of the Qumran texts paraphrasing Gen12–50, on the one hand enriched the biblical material with new elementsby extending and supplementing it and, on the other hand, as in the biblicalnarratives of Gen, portray the patriarchs in a standard sequence listing theirnames (i.e. Abraham – Isaac – Jacob) in the context of the covenant and ofthe divine promises, and present them as the models of obedience, loyaltyand faithfulness to God.

The article is an attempt to summarize the problems which come intoview when the patriarchs of Israel are studied. More particularly, the attentionis focused on the question of whether they are eponyms, legendaryfigures or historical persons. The narrative of Gen 12–50 was composedin the Persian period, so the distance from the possible time when Abraham,Isaac and Joseph/Israel lived is very long. This problem is connectedwith the role of archaeology and extra-biblical evidence. Regarding thepatriarchs the question is posed whether they in fact “existed”, that is, ifthey are historical persons or literary imaginations invented by authors ofthe second part of Genesis.
