Some cool people in that line up... Boaz - the kinsmen redeemer for Ruth, Judah - the first of the Tribe of Judah, Isaac - who was renamed Israel (yes as in the father of all Israelite's, God's chosen people), Abraham - the father of Faith, Noah- no introduction necessary, Methuselah was really really old, Enoch walked with God and then he was no more because God took him home before Enoch died, and Adam the first human. So much could be said for each of these men!
