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"
