Best Answer

The question may refer to the names "Jacob" and "Israel" for the same biblical person.
But "father of the Hebrew people" is a debatable title for him, since the syllable "AV" in the
name of Jacob's grandfather Abraham translates as "father", and Abraham is indeed considered
to have been the father of Judaism.
