I know you may have tried to imply this, but just for clarity:
The line is Abraham > Isaac > Jacob (Israel).
Isaac and Ishmael were brothers.
Jacob (Israel) had 12 sons (12 tribes).

Thanks. Actually, looking back, I did kind of flub what I said about Israel and Ismael.

"....Isaac and Ishmael were brothers......"
Half brothers. Same father (Abraham) but different mothers.
Sarah was Isaac's mother; Hagar was Ishmael's mother.
