'Fathers' in the Bible

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you [people] say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship."

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
