Genesis 25:25-27 (New King James Version - NKJV)
25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. 27 So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.
Jacob means literally - "heel catcher" or "supplanter". God later changed his name to Israel, which means - "he will rule as God". - Genesis 32:28
