'Fathers' in the Bible

Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.
