In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) is the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel.He was born holding his twin brother Esau 's heel, and his name is explained as meaning holder of the heel or supplanter.ther theories claim that it is in fact derived from a hypothetical name like ×Ö·×¢Ö²×§Ö¹×Ö°×Öµ× (Ya'aqov'el) meaning may God protect. The English names Jacob and James derive from the same source, with James coming from Latin Iacomus, a later variant of Iacobus.
