(according to the ‘Book of Genesis’, Jacob (/ΛdΚeΙͺkΙb/; Hebrew: ΧΦ·Χ’Φ²Χ§ΦΉΧ Standard YaΚΏakov) was the third Hebrew progenitor with whom God made a ‘covenant’)
(he is the son of ‘Isaac’ and ‘Rebecca’, the grandson of ‘Abraham’, ‘Sarah’, and of ‘Bethuel’, and the younger twin brother of ‘Esau’)
(‘Jacob’ had 12 sons and at least 1 daughter, by his 2 wives, ‘Leah’ and ‘Rachel’, and by their handmaidens ‘Bilhah’ and ‘Zilpah’)
(Jacob’s 12 sons, named in ‘Genesis’, were ‘Reuben’, ‘Simeon’, ‘Levi’, ‘Judah’, ‘Dan’, ‘Naphtali’, ‘Gad’, ‘Asher’, ‘Issachar’, ‘Zebulun’, ‘Joseph’, and ‘Benjamin’)
(his only daughter mentioned in ‘Genesis’ is ‘Dinah’)
(the 12 sons became the progenitors of the “Tribes of Israel”)
(as a result of a severe drought in ‘Canaan’, ‘Jacob’ and his sons moved to ‘Egypt’ at the time when his son ‘Joseph’ was ‘viceroy’)
(after 17 years in ‘Egypt’, ‘Jacob’ died and ‘Joseph’ carried Jacob’s remains to the land of ‘Canaan’, and gave him a stately burial in the same ‘Cave of Machpelah’ as were buried ‘Abraham’, ‘Sarah’, ‘Isaac’, ‘Rebecca’, and Jacob’s first wife, ‘Leah’)
(‘jacob’ appears in a number of sacred scriptures, including the ‘hebrew bible’, the ‘new testament’, the ‘talmud’, the ‘qur’an’, the ‘book of mormon’, and ‘bahΓ‘’Γ scripture’)
