Historicity of lede in Jacob article now corresponds to Abraham article

Edited the lede of the Jacob article to precisely correspond to the consensus of the Abraham page with the word Abraham changed to Jacob. If anything changes in the consensus here, feel free to edit there as well.

“Most scholars view the patriarchal age, along with the Exodus and the period of the biblical judges, as a late literary construct that does not relate to any particular historical era and after a century of exhaustive archaeological investigation, no evidence has been found for a historical Jacob.” IncandescentBliss (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

@IncandescentBliss: Perhaps this source might be of interest for this discussion. Potatín5 (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

You know I once wrote without even thinking, How dare you in the House of Jacob.

I don’t know where it came from other than all firstborn Sons in Africa are called Yankuba (Jacob) and are offered not literally but Spiritually to the Lord God.

Now this sounds very familiar to Abraham to show his faith he offered his Son to the Lord as a way of peace offering for his lack of whatever caused him to feel he had displeased the Lord God.

However proving his total Faith his Son was spared.

Just discussion material like I once said I saw Edrin in a very old piece of Scripture that was in Salem in America and was told not to be absurd no name exists, however I have found Edrai as a place in The Lords time. 92.40.218.0 (talk) 16:51, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Ten Trials of Abraham

I think it would be pretty interesting addition to the article to write out the 10 trials of Abraham as described in the Hebrew Bible, where would that fit into the article? Nycarchitecture212 (talk) 03:49, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
