Strong's Lexicon Yaaqob: Jacob Original Word: יַעֲקֹב Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָקֵב (aqeb), meaning "heel" or "supplanter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2384 Ἰακώβ (Iakob) - The Greek transliteration of Jacob, used in the New Testament to refer to the patriarch and other individuals named Jacob. Usage: The name Jacob is traditionally understood to mean "he grasps the heel" or "supplanter," reflecting the biblical narrative of Jacob grasping his twin brother Esau's heel at birth (Genesis 25:26). Jacob is a central patriarchal figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his role in the lineage of the Israelites, his twelve sons forming the twelve tribes of Israel, and his personal transformation after wrestling with God, leading to his name being changed to Israel (Genesis 32:28). Cultural and Historical Background: Jacob is a key figure in the Abrahamic faiths, revered as a patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. His life story, as recorded in Genesis, includes significant events such as his acquisition of Esau's birthright, his vision of the ladder to heaven at Bethel, his marriages to Leah and Rachel, and his eventual reconciliation with Esau. Jacob's narrative reflects themes of struggle, divine encounter, and covenantal promise, which are foundational to the identity and faith of the Israelite people.
