JACOB. [Heb.
Yaaqobh
= "holding the heel" (cf. Gen. xxv. 26; xxvii. 36);
"supplanter," "lier in wait" (Gesenius)]. Usage:
America, England, France, Holland.
A son of Isaac and Rebekah, a twin
with Esau, but born a short time after him, and therefore considered the
younger brother (Gen. xxv. 21-26). As he grew he became a
"plain," "quiet" or "inoffensive" man,
dwelling in tents (27). He was his mother's favourite, while the
father preferred Esau (28). (R. Hunter)
