Ancestors [1]
an´ses -tẽrs ( ראשׁנים , rı̄'shōnı̄m , "first ones"): The word ancestor appears in the English Bible only once ( Leviticus 26:45 ). The Hebrew word, the ordinary adjective "first," occurs more than 200 times, and in a few places might fairly be rendered ancestors (e.g. Deuteronomy 19:14; Jeremiah 11:10 ). In speaking of ancestors the Old Testament ordinarily uses the word for "fathers" ( 'ābhōth ).
