Explanation:

To solve this character - description matching, we analyze each character's biblical narrative:

Elijah

Elijah was a prophet who confronted the priests of Baal and had a great victory over them, so the description "Prophet who defeated the priests of Baal" matches Elijah.

Abel

Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve, and he was killed by his brother Cain. So the description "killed by his brother" matches Abel.

Adam

Adam is considered the first man created by God, so the description "First man" matches Adam.

Isaac

Isaac was the only son born to Abraham and Sarah when they were very old, so the description "Only son born to very old parents" matches Isaac.

Cain

Cain was the first - born son of Adam and Eve. He killed his brother Abel and was banished. So the description "farmer, banished from his family for murder" matches Cain.

Moses

Moses was saved by his mother (who put him in a basket in the Nile) and later led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt. So the description "Saved by his mother and freed the Hebrew slaves" matches Moses.

Jeremiah

Jeremiah was a prophet who called Israel to repent, often seen as a prophet of both doom (due to the impending destruction of Jerusalem) and hope (for future restoration). So the description "Prophet of Doom and Hope - called Israel to repent" matches Jeremiah.

For the remaining descriptions:

• "Father of many nations, sign of the covenant was circumcision" matches Abraham (though not in the given character list here, but if we consider the context, maybe a mis - list or a different set). "Built an ark, and saved humanity and animals" matches Noah (again, not in the given list here). "Second born, tricked his father into a blessing" matches Jacob (not in the given list). "First born, sold his birthright for lentil stew" matches Esau (not in the given list). But based on the given characters:

Answer:

• Elijah: Prophet who defeated the priests of Baal
• Abel: killed by his brother
• Adam: First man
• Isaac: Only son born to very old parents
• Cain: farmer, banished from his family for murder
• Moses: Saved by his mother and freed the Hebrew slaves
• Jeremiah: Prophet of Doom and Hope - called Israel to repent
