The historical reality of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as the early formation of Israel, has long been a subject of debate among scholars. Yet over the past century, archaeology has continually illuminated the truth of the biblical record, revealing that the stories of Genesis and Exodus rest not on myth but on authentic history.

From ancient tablets and inscriptions to settlements and burial customs, discoveries across Mesopotamia, Canaan, and Egypt align remarkably with the cultural, linguistic, and geopolitical context of the early Hebrews. These findings confirm that the patriarchs lived in a real world of cities, trade routes, covenants, and divine encounters, exactly as Scripture describes.

Faith does not depend on archaeology, but archaeology repeatedly affirms faith. Each discovery that echoes the biblical narrative deepens the understanding that the Bible records the acts of God in time and space, not symbolic tales, but living history.
