5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “fathers” →
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
