Defining Jewish Identity
The Bible never approaches the subject of Jewish identity quite as directly as the Mishnah and only addresses it circuitously. The patriarch of Abraham for example, the founder of Biblical faith, does not appear until the end of chapter eleven in the book of Genesis, yet others with a relationship with God are mentioned before his appearance.
