'Forefathers' in the Bible

Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
