# the beginning
![Image](https://api.unfoldingword.org/obs/jpg/1/en/360px/obs-en-01-01.jpg)

## The Twelve Sons [08-15] ##
# covenant promises
![Image](https://api.unfoldingword.org/obs/jpg/1/en/360px/obs-en-08-15.jpg)
Long ago God made an agreement with Abraham and promised him that he would give him many descendants; they would possess the land of Canaan and become a great nation. God also promised that all peoples would be blessed through Abraham's line. See also [07:10](07/10).
The __covenant promises__ that __God__ gave to __Abraham__ were __passed on to Isaac__, then to __Jacob__, and then to Jacob’s twelve sons and their families. The __descendants__ of the twelve sons became the __twelve tribes of Israel__.
# passed on to
## Important Terms: ##
Another way to say this would be, "passed down to" or, "given to" or, "applied to." God's promise to Abraham was also for Abraham's children, grandchildren and all the rest of his descendants. See also [06:04](06/04).
