Jacob (Man living at the time of the Patriarchs)

Jacob was Isaac and Rebekah's younger twin, born grasping his brother Esau's heel, and he later bought Esau's birthright for a bowl of stew and stole his father's dying blessing with his mother's help, forcing him to flee for his life to his uncle Laban in Mesopotamia. There he worked fourteen years for his two wives, Leah and Rachel, fathered the twelve sons who became the tribes of Israel, and on his way back to Canaan wrestled all night with a mysterious figure who renamed him Israel, meaning he struggles with God. Jacob spent his last seventeen years in Egypt after his son Joseph, whom he had long believed dead, turned out to be the country's second-in-command, and he was buried back in Canaan in the family tomb at Machpelah exactly as he had asked.
