Jacob definition

Jacob means “He grabs the heel.” This is an idiom that means “he tricks or deceives.”
Jacob means heel grasper, that is, one who seeks to benefit by thwarting someone else's power. His story indicates we don't have to remain a heel grasper even if we seem to start out that way. If we notice we are displaying a victim mentality, we must shift from that limit-bound consciousness of Jacob and become our true, liberated self-Israel.

Jacob. (which means ‘deceiver'), he answered. Then the Lord said, “You are no longer ‘Jacob the fearful self-dependent deceiver,’ but you will be known as Israel – the one who, with God, struggled against human fear and selfishness, and overcame” (Genesis 32:3-27 REM).

Jacob s name means ‘supplanter’ or ‘deceitful,’ literally ‘one who catches the heel.’ Even before their birth, Jacob and Esau are depicted as struggling in the womb for firstborn status [Gen 25:23]. At birth, Jacob is even seen grasping Esau’s heel. The theme of God sovereignly choosing the younger over the elder or oldest brother is clearly repeated in Genesis: Abel over Cain, Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, Judah over Reuben (also another theme is the barren wife: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Hannah, Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist; see also the passing of the wife as sister: Abraham twice [Egypt and Gerar], Isaac once [Gerar]). Jacob cleverly steals Esau’s birthright for a pot of ‘red stew(ed)’ lentils and bread [Gen 25:29ff]. Jacob also steals the ‘solemn family blessing’ from Esau by pretending that he was Esau by wearing a skin of goats over his hands and neck and by feeding Isaac savory food and bread [Gen 27]. Notice that the mothers of both Isaac and Jacob play a pivotal role in the outworking election of God in their individual lives. Jacob flees from Esau and returns to his ancestry, to his uncle Laban, Rebekah’s father. He, like Isaac, marries a woman from Mesopotamia and not someone from among the Canaanites, like Esau. Jacob works for Laban seven years but is ‘deceived’ into marrying Leah. He eventully marries Rachel seven days later, but must work an additional seven years for Rachel [Gen 29:15-30]. Jacob’s life up to the time that he wrestles with God has been characterized by deceiving and being deceived. He was a constant schemer. An example of this type of scheming was in his agreement with Laban that every newborn spotted livestock would be his. Jacob actually believed that placing alternating colors in front of mating animals would result in unusually colored offspring and, therefore, would belong to him. But God chose to bless Jacob because of the Abrahamic blessing on his life through his father Isaac. During his wrestling with God, God touches Jacob’s hip socket and makes him lame or weak in one leg. Jacob, who always depended on his strength, was now physically and spiritually dependant on God’s grace for his every move. Jacob’s name is changed from ‘supplanter’ to ‘prince with God’ which indicates that Jacob had now been spiritually changed.
