Answer & Explanation
✓ The first son of Abraham, who was born to one of his servants because his wife was barren.
Israel was the alternate name of Jacob, Abraham's grandson. Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt. (And although the narrator of Moby Dick was named Ishmael, he was not a harpoonist -- the main harpoonist was Queequeg. Besides, this is a BIBLE quiz, smarty!). (Genesis 12-25)
