Jacob

Jacob is a significant figure in the Bible, known as one of the patriarchs of Israel. He is the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the grandson of Abraham and Sarah. Jacob is famous for his story of wrestling with an angel and receiving the name Israel, which means "one who struggles with God." He had twelve sons, who became the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. His narrative illustrates themes of faith, struggle, and divine promise, and his life events set the foundation for the history of the Israelites in the biblical context.
