From Abraham our forefather to Moses our teacher
Family line from Abraham to Moses
Question
What is the family line between Abraham our forefather and Moses our teacher? Can I receive details, including years of life and ages? Can I also receive something similar for the line between Abraham and Joseph? Did our matriarch Rachel know about Joseph being sold, or about his disappearance?
Answer
Hello and blessings.
Abraham fathered Isaac when he was one hundred years old; Isaac fathered Jacob when he was sixty; Jacob married Leah when he was eighty-four, and Levi was born third. Levi fathered Kohath; Kohath fathered Amram; Amram fathered Moses.
This is explained in the holy Torah. Joseph was the son of Rachel, born after seven years in which he was married to Rachel. Rachel passed away long before Joseph was sold, and Joseph prostrated himself at her grave when he was taken to Egypt.
