The name Jacon means ...."Taking hold of the heel" Jacobs mother Rebekah was distressed by the struggling of the twins within her womb, which Jehovah explained , were the beginnings of two opposing nations. Furthermore Jehovah declared that contrary to custom, the older would serve the younger. Accordingly the second -born Jacob was holding the heel of Esau at their birth; hence the name Jacob, meaning "take hold of the heel" Genesis 25:22 thru 26. Jehovah thus demonstrated his ability to detect the genetic bent of the unborn, and to exercise his foreknowledge and right to select beforehand whom he chooses for his purposes, and yet in no way to predetermine the final destiny of individuals.
