There are about six million Jews in the country of Israel (in 2015), and around 14 million Jews worldwide. Other than converts, all Jews are from Jacob's bloodline. God gave Jacob the additional name of Israel (Genesis ch.35), and it was Jacob who fathered the Twelve Israelite Tribes who are the ancestors of all Jews. See also:
