Usage: The name "Jacob" in the New Testament refers to several individuals, most notably the patriarch Jacob, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name is also used for others, such as the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:16).

Cultural and Historical Background: Jacob is a central figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his role in the lineage of the Israelites. His account is one of transformation, from a man who deceives his brother Esau to one who wrestles with God and is renamed Israel. Jacob's life reflects themes of struggle, redemption, and the fulfillment of God's promises. In the New Testament, Jacob's legacy is seen in the genealogies of Jesus, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant through the generations.
