Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָקֵב (aqeb), meaning "heel" or "supplanter."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2384: Ἰακώβ (Iakob) • The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Jacob, used in the New Testament to refer to the patriarch Jacob, as well as other individuals named Jacob.

Usage: Jacob is a proper noun used as a masculine personal name. It is a significant name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to the patriarch Jacob, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the twin brother of Esau. Jacob is a central figure in the narrative of the Israelites, as he is the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Context: Jacob is a pivotal character in the biblical narrative, first introduced in Genesis 25:26, where he is born grasping the heel of his twin brother Esau, which is the basis for his name. Jacob's life is marked by a series of significant events that shape the history of the Israelite people. He is known for acquiring his brother Esau's birthright and blessing through cunning means (Genesis 25:29-34; 27:1-29). Jacob's journey includes a transformative encounter with God at Bethel, where he dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven and receives God's promise of land and descendants (Genesis 28:10-22).

Jacob's life is further characterized by his marriages to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Laban, and his subsequent fathering of twelve sons and one daughter. These sons become the progenitors of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob's name is later changed to Israel after wrestling with an angel, symbolizing his struggles and perseverance with God and men (Genesis 32:28).

Jacob's narrative continues with his migration to Egypt during a famine, where he is reunited with his son Joseph, whom he believed to be dead. Jacob's blessings to his sons and his death in Egypt are recorded in Genesis 49-50. His story is foundational to the identity and history of the Israelite nation, and he is frequently mentioned throughout the Bible as a patriarch alongside Abraham and Isaac.
