Hence, in the scrolls interpreting the<br />narrative of Gen 12–50 there were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls there are<br />relatively many references and allusions to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac<br />and Jacob. Unfortunately, most of the texts – apart from the Genesis Apocryphon<br />(1QapGen) – survived in a very fragmentary state only, therefore<br />their interpretation meets serious difficulties and any conclusions should be<br />drawn with the extreme cautiousness. Nevertheless, it can be acknowledged<br />that, in many cases, the authors of the Qumran texts paraphrasing Gen<br />12–50, on the one hand enriched the biblical material with new elements<br />by extending and supplementing it and, on the other hand, as in the biblical<br />narratives of Gen, portray the patriarchs in a standard sequence listing their<br />names (i.e. Abraham – Isaac – Jacob) in the context of the covenant and of<br />the divine promises, and present them as the models of obedience, loyalty<br />and faithfulness to God.
