Jacob background

Jacob

In the land of Canaan, twin brothers Jacob and Esau, sons of Isaac and Rebekah, grow up with distinct personalities, with Esau demonstrating exceptional hunting skills and a taste for luxury.

In the biblical story, Isaac's twin sons Esau and Jacob have contrasting personalities. Esau is a strong and fearless hunter, while Jacob is a tender and compassionate shepherd. Rebekah, their mother, believes Jacob is the chosen one and rightful heir, and convinces him to deceive their blind father Isaac to obtain the blessing meant for Esau. Esau vows to kill Jacob after being tricked, but Jacob flees to Harran to marry one of Laban's daughters, Rachel. He falls in love with Rachel, but Laban forces him to marry her older sister Leah instead. Jacob eventually returns to Canaan and reunites with his brother Esau, who has forgiven him and welcomes him home.
