Joseph, the father of Jesus, came many centuries later than the events and people depicted in the Book of Genesis. Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel clearly says that Joseph's father was called Heli, its author apparently not having identified the possibilities developed by the author of Matthew.

Whose name means heel in bible?
Who's name means heel in the bible? This question refers to the sons of Isaac and Rebekah. You can read about the topic of your question in Genesis chapter 25. Two sons (two Nations) are born to Isaac, Esau and Jacob. The sons were twins (born at the same time). Its documented that Jacob grabbed hold of his brothers heal as they were coming out of the womb. The word Jacob means "heal catcher" or supplanter. (Read Genesis 27:36 also read Strong's Hebrew dictionary for the meaning of the word Jacob) Our Father loved Jacob but hated Esau (Malachi 1:3, Romans 9:13) Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of red poddage. (Read Genesis 25) Jacob would receive the blessing of Issac and be renamed Israel (Read Genesis 27 and Genesis 32) Israel means "He will rule as God"
How was Abraham father of the Hebrews' life?
Abraham (called a 'Hebrew'-Genesis 14:13)was the patriarch of the Israelites, and the one through whom God provided the original covenant.(Genesis 17:5-6) Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac fathered Jacob. Jacob(who's name was changed to 'Israel' by God) became the father of twelve sons who eventually became the paternal heads of the twelve tribes of Israel, or " the Israelites". Eventually the terms Hebrew and Israelite came to mean the same thing (1Samuel 13:3-7; 14:11; 29:3)

How are Ishmael and the Arab nation related?
In the Abrahamic faiths, Ishmael is considered by Muslims to be a direct ancestor of the Arab nation through his descendants. This lineage is believed to have come from Abraham and Hagar, Ishmael's mother. Ishmael is also seen as the forefather of the Arab people in many cultural and religious narratives.
Was Lamech actually Noah's father?
Yes, according to the Bible at: Genesis 5:28+29Additional information:It should be noted that the Lamech of Genesis 4:18-24 is NOT the same man as the Lamech of Genesis 5:25-29. The first Lamech was a descendent of Cain. The second was a descendent of Seth; the son of Methuselah and father of Noah.
Why was Abraham known as the Father of Judaism?
This is based on several verses taken as a whole. Abraham is promised by God that he will become a great nation (Genesis 12:2); and it later states that Abraham's son Ishmael, born of Hagar (Genesis 16:15) will be a numerous people (Genesis 17:20); while Isaac, born of Sarah (Genesis 21:3) will be Abraham's choicest seed (Genesis 21:12) and the bearer of God's covenant (Genesis 17:21). Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob (Genesis 25:21-25). Esau willingly sold his birthright to Jacob (Genesis 25:30-33), entitling Jacob to get Isaac's chief blessing, which he did (Genesis ch.27). God is never described as speaking to Esau, who plotted murder (Genesis 27:41); but He spoke to Jacob repeatedly; and in one of the prophecies, He gave Jacob the title of Israel (Genesis 35:10), which is the title of the Jewish people, Jacob's descendants.Another Answer:Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) were never called Jews but rather Hebrews:Genesis 14:13New King James Version (NKJV) 13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew,The term 'Jew' is predominantly the tribe of Judah, the fourth son of Israel (there are 11 other tribes though Benjamin was mostly absorbed by Judah when the Kingdom split - some of Simeon and Levi as well are in this group as may be the others over the generations).A rule of thumb: all Jews are Hebrews but not all Hebrews are Jews.Of Israel's 12 sons: all Jews are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews
Why did the writer of the old testement book of Genisis keep calling Jacob by that name when God said his name would be called Israel in Genesis chapter 5?
Jacob's name wasn't mentioned or changed until Genesis chapter 32.The Genesis 5 geneology ends with Noah's three sons... who crossed the flood with their families to repopulate the earth. Jacob's grandfather, Abraham, isn't even mentioned in Genesis chapter 5.Nevertheless... once Jacob's name was changed to Israel, that didn't nullify his first name. They became synonymous with each other and recognizable as the same person. Not to mention the twelve individually named tribes of his sons who inherited both names of their father.Answer(It would appear the person who asked the Question ["Why did ... called Israel in Genesis chapter 5?"] mistyped it and actually meant Genesis chapter 35 instead). Genesis 3510 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.However, this was first mentioned earlier in Genesis 32:-Genesis 3228 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.Just as we are often called one name when we have done the wrong thing but another when we have done something right, so it was with Jacob. Before his conversion he was called Jacob: that's straight-forward. However, after his conversion and name-change from Jacob to Israel, when he did something God didn't approve of he was called 'Jacob' instead. In short, when he did something Godly he was called Ísrael'; when he reverted back to his old character and did something ungodly he was called Jacob.Romans 1126 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
