EspañolMATRIARCHS (BIBLE)
(Redirected from Matriarchs)
The 'Matriarchs' () are four important women mentioned in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, the wives of the Biblical Patriarchs. They are Sarah, wife of Abraham; Rebeccah, wife of Isaac; and Leah and Rachel, the wives of Jacob. They are considered to be the ancestral "mothers" of the ancient Children of Israel as well as of the Jewish people.
Thus classical Judaism considers itself to have three male Patriarchs and four mothers.
