The name "Jacob" in Hebrew is "Ya'akov," which is derived from the root word "aqeb," meaning "heel" or "to supplant." This reflects the narrative of Jacob grasping Esau's heel at birth (Genesis 25:26). In a broader sense, the name signifies one who follows or supplants, which is evident in Jacob's actions throughout his life. The question posed by Esau here is rhetorical, emphasizing the appropriateness of Jacob's name in light of his actions. Historically, names in the ancient Near East were often seen as indicative of one's character or destiny, and Jacob's life account is a testament to this cultural belief.
