ENT_ISR_ADAM	Adam	Israelite	First human / Patriarch	Hero	first human; paradise; fall; divine image; primordial father; Eden	A	First human being in the Israelite tradition; Genesis presents two creation accounts: P source (Genesis 1:26-27) creates adam ("humanity") collectively "in the image of God" (tselem elohim); J source (Genesis 2:7) has God forming the man from the dust of the ground ('adamah — the name puns on "ground-one" or "earthling"); placed in the garden of Eden; the transgression at the tree of knowledge results in mortality — the Israelite version of the widespread ancient Near Eastern theme of humans being denied immortality (cf. Mesopotamian Adapa, Gilgamesh's failed quest); in the genealogy of Genesis 5 he lives 930 years; father of Cain, Abel, and Seth; the tselem elohim formula becomes the theological source for the Kabbalistic Adam Kadmon and the Sethian Gnostic Adamas; Pauline Christology develops the "second Adam" typology (Romans 5:12-19; 1 Corinthians 15:45-49)	scriptural-figure
ENT_ISR_ELIJAH	Elijah	Israelite	Prophet / Fiery prophet	Revealer Figure	prophecy; fire; Baal confrontation; chariot ascent; eschatology; return	A	9th century BCE Israelite prophet; active during the reigns of Ahab (c. 869-850 BCE) and Ahaziah (c. 850-849 BCE) of the northern kingdom; 1 Kings 17-19, 21; 2 Kings 1-2; his name means "My God is Yahweh" ('Eli + Yahu); major episodes: drought and ravens (1 Kings 17), the contest with the Baal prophets on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18), the theophany in the still small voice on Horeb (1 Kings 19), and the fiery chariot ascent to heaven (2 Kings 2:11); one of only two Hebrew Bible figures who do not die (alongside Enoch, Genesis 5:24), which becomes the basis for his eschatological return; Malachi 4:5 (Hebrew 3:23) explicitly prophesies "I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD"; this prophecy drives the New Testament identification of John the Baptist as Elijah returned (Matthew 11:14, 17:10-12; Luke 1:17) and his appearance at the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3); Islamic reception as the prophet Ilyas (Quran 37:123-132)	prophet
ENT_ISR_MOSES	Moses	Israelite	Prophet / Lawgiver	Revealer Figure	prophecy; lawgiver; Torah; Sinai; Exodus; divine face; burning bush	A	Paradigm Israelite prophet and lawgiver; Exodus 2 – Deuteronomy 34; leads the Exodus from Egypt; receives the Torah at Sinai (Exodus 19-20; 24:12-18; 34); mediates the covenant between Yahweh and Israel; the only figure in the Hebrew Bible described as knowing God "face to face" (Deuteronomy 34:10; cf. Exodus 33:11); his death on Mount Nebo before entering Canaan (Deuteronomy 34:1-8) and the detail that no one knows his burial place are early markers of his exceptional status; Numbers 12:6-8 establishes his prophetic superiority over all other prophets ("mouth to mouth I speak with him"); central to Judaism as Moshe Rabbenu (Moses our Teacher) and the paradigm lawgiver; appears with Elijah at the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3); most frequently named prophet in the Quran (136 mentions as Musa), where he is the paradigm of prophetic confrontation with tyrant power (the Pharaoh/Fir'awn narrative); also central to Mandaean religion	prophet
ENT_ISR_NOAH	Noah	Israelite	Patriarch / Flood hero	Hero	flood; ark; covenant; patriarch; divine righteousness; new world	A	Israelite flood patriarch; Genesis 6-9: receives divine command to build an ark, survives the universal flood, and receives the covenant marked by the rainbow (Genesis 9:12-17); son of Lamech (Genesis 5:28-29), tenth generation from Adam in the priestly genealogy; his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth are the ancestors of all post-flood humanity in the Israelite Table of Nations (Genesis 10); cited in Ezekiel 14:14, 20 as one of three paradigm righteous figures alongside Daniel and Job; in 1 Enoch 106-107 he is described as radiant at birth, suggesting early traditions of his semi-divine or chosen status; the Israelite reception of the Mesopotamian flood hero tradition (Utnapishtim/Atrahasis/Ziusudra), most likely mediated through contact with Babylonian literary traditions during the exile (586-538 BCE)	hero
