Jacob in Christianity and Judaism
Jacob or Jacob (Hebrew: עֲקֹב) means “holding the heel of the foot” and is also known as Israel, meaning “God's wrestler” according to the story contained in Genesis 32 when Jacob wrestled with God without knowing. Jacob had a major role in the final events of Genesis in the Old Testament.
his birthday
He was born to Isaac and Rebekah: Esau and Jacob after 20 years of marriage, where Isaac was 60 years old (Genesis 26:25), and Abraham was 160 years old. Jacob differs from his brother Esau in appearance and behavior. Esau was a hunter, while Jacob was a tent-dweller.
When Rebekah was pregnant, the two children were wrestling with each other inside her womb (Genesis 22:25). Fearing this movement, Rebekah asked God about its reason, after which she learned that she was pregnant with two children, and that they would establish two different nations. And they are always in competition and in fact the older one will serve the younger one. Rebekah did not tell her husband Isaac, but kept it in her heart. Esau was the first to be born, and his brother Jacob (Israel) was born immediately after him and was holding the heel of Esau's foot. That is why he was named Jacob, meaning (the heel), which is derived from the Hebrew word “עקב.” Isaac preferred Esau, but the mother preferred Jacob.
So the sons of Isaac are:
Jacob (Israel)
Esau

Jacob's sons and wives
The Prophet Jacob had twelve sons, one male and one daughter:
The Prophet Joseph and Benjamin, and their mother: Rachel, daughter of Laban, and she is the daughter of Jacob's uncle.
Reuben, his eldest son, Judah, Levi, Shimon, Zebulun, Issachar, and one daughter, Dina, and their mother: Leah, daughter of Laban, who is Rachel's sister and Jacob's maternal uncle's daughter.
Dan and Naphtali and their mother: Bilha.
Jad and Ashir and their mother: Zilfa.
His lineage is Jacob bin Isaac bin Abraham, and his mother is Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. It is said that Jacob is one of the twins of the prophet of God Isaac, who are Esau and Jacob, who is also called Israel.
Jacob lived with his uncle Laban in Iraq, so he married his two daughters, Leah and Rachel, and Laban, when he married them to Jacob, gave each of them a maid. And they, in turn, gave the two slave girls to Jacob the husband, and thus Jacob became four wives: Leah, Rachel, Zalfa, and Belha. As for Leah, she bore him Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and one daughter named Dina.
As for Rachel, she bore him Joseph and Benjamin, as she bore him Bilha Dan and Naphtali, and gave birth to Zilfa Gad and Asher. Thus, in the blink of an eye, Jacob became the husband of four wives and the father of twelve children who were later known as the tribes, and he died after they reached the age of 180 and was buried in Hebron, Palestine.

part of his biography
Jacob did not go out to his uncle away from his parents had it not been for his twin Issa's refusal to him. He used to see that Jacob was dearer to his mother's heart and he hated him. Therefore, his father suggested that he move away, so he took his suggestion and did not return to his hometown until after he got married and knew that Jesus had a little heart. .
Polygamy was not right for Jacob, but it was the cause of all his ordeal, which he encountered later because of the plots of the brothers who had four wives.
Rachel, the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, was dearer to the heart of Jacob, because he wanted her to be his wife from the beginning, had it not been that his uncle had said: I will not marry you to the younger one before the older one. After ten years of love.
Joseph was also dearer to the heart of Jacob, and he saw in him eloquence and the impact of prophecy, but this did not satisfy his brothers, so they almost killed him, so they fabricated the story of the wolf, who was innocent of Joseph's blood. Jacob suffered from losing Joseph a lot, but perhaps he was the reason because he brought Joseph and his brother Benjamin closer, which made his brothers think of getting rid of him, and before they did what they did, Joseph saw a vision and said to his father: “Oh, Father, I saw eleven planets, and the sun and the moon, I saw them for me.” prostrating.” Then Jacob sensed the seriousness of the situation and said to Joseph: “My son, do not tell your vision to your brothers, lest they plot against you, for Satan is a clear enemy to man.”
The brothers went and carried out their plot, and agreed that the best method would be to put Joseph in the pit, so perhaps a caravan would pick him up and take him away from their eyes and his father’s eyes. So they deceived the poor father and took Joseph under the pretext that he would go out with them for a walk. And you are heedless of it. They said: If the wolf eats it, and we are a gang, then we are losers.
Yes, they went with it, and what Jacob expected occurred, so they threw him into the pit, and they came crying and pretending to lie with blood, and said the wolf ate it.
Jacob did not believe them and said: “Rather, yourselves asked you for something, so patience is beautiful, and God is seeking help for what you describe.”
This incident did not pass peacefully on Jacob, so he was deeply saddened, cried until his eyes were blinded, and surrendered to God's judgment.
