This link may be helpful http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/abraham.html  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, known as the Patriarchs, are both the physical and spiritual ancestors of Judaism. They founded the religion now known as Judaism, and their descendants are the [|Jewish people]. Of course, technically, it is incorrect to refer to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as Jews, because the terms "Jew" and "Judaism" were not used generally to refer to this [|nation] until hundreds of years after their time; nevertheless, for convenience and in accordance with common practice, I will use these terms. The history below is derived from [|written Torah], [|Talmud], [|Midrash] and other sources. Modern scholars question the existence of the Patriarchs and the historical accuracy of this information; however, it is worth noting that scholars also questioned the existence of Babylonia and Troy... until archaeologists found them. =**Covenant** - Define use this link to assist=

 Below is a list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments). It is based primarily on the list compiled by [|Rambam] in the Mishneh Torah, but I have consulted other sources as well. As I said in the page on [|halakhah], Rambam's list is probably the most widely accepted list, but it is not the only one. The order is my own. For each mitzvah, I have provided a citation to the biblical passage or passages from which it is derived, based primarily on Rambam. For commandments that can be observed today, I have also provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim's Concise Book of Mitzvot (CCA refers to affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to commandments that only apply in[|Israel]). Commandments that cannot be observed today primarily relate to the [|Temple], its [|sacrifices] and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).
