Biblically speaking, Israel was the name given to Jacob son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham. Literally speaking, the tribes of Israel are named for the twelve sons of Jacob (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin). Being their father, Jacob/Israel founded them.
