The recorded history of these lightbearers in the West, the twelve tribes of Israel, begins in the Bible, in Genesis, chapter 12, when God promises to bless Abraham: “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.”<ref>Gen. 12:2.</ref>

In chapter 15 God says to Abraham (when he was still known as Abram): “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen. 15:5) God then told Abraham to make a sacrifice. He did so, and God told him of a karma that would come upon his seed which was a prophecy of the captivity of the twelve tribes in Egypt.

<blockquote>
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And [the Lord] said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [This is a prophecy of the captivity of the twelve tribes in Egypt.] 
 
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.<ref>Ge. 15:12–16.</ref>

Sanat Kumara chose Abraham to be the father of the Israelites, to be the one who would receive in his old age, through Sarah, the son Isaac. Isaac would then have the son Jacob; Jacob would give birth to twelve sons, who would become the progenitors of the twelve tribes. Thus, Abraham is the great patriarch of the lightbearers, chosen to bear the seed of [[Alpha]]. These souls came with a specific mission to be a witness unto the true God in the midst of [[idolatry]], in the midst of the great darkness of the Middle East, such as that seen at [[Sodom and Gomorrah]]. They came to illustrate the blessedness of serving God, to receive and preserve the prophecy and the revelations, and above all, to be the channel through whom the Messiah would be born.
