Jacob in Genesis 25
JAY-kub
This person shows up in Genesis 25:26: “After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Genesis 25:26
“After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.”
