'Forefathers' in the Bible

In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever."

He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,

"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!

"Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!

Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.

It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
