Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'akov).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3290 יַעֲקֹב (Ya'akov) • The Hebrew equivalent of the Greek Ἰακώβ, referring to the same patriarch Jacob.

Usage: The name Ἰακώβ appears in the New Testament primarily in genealogies and references to the patriarch Jacob. It is used to denote both the historical figure and, by extension, the nation of Israel descended from him.

Context: • Historical Context: Jacob is a central figure in the biblical narrative, first appearing in the Book of Genesis. He is the younger twin brother of Esau and the son of Isaac and Rebekah. Jacob's life is marked by significant events, including his acquisition of Esau's birthright, his vision of the ladder to heaven at Bethel, and his wrestling with an angel, after which he is renamed Israel.
• Significance in the New Testament: In the New Testament, Jacob is mentioned in genealogies, such as in Matthew 1:2, "Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers." He is also referenced in discussions of faith and the patriarchs, as seen in Hebrews 11:9, "By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise."
• Theological Implications: Jacob's life and legacy are foundational to understanding the covenantal promises of God to Israel. His story illustrates themes of divine election, transformation, and the fulfillment of God's promises through imperfect human vessels. Jacob's twelve sons become the progenitors of the twelve tribes of Israel, making him a pivotal figure in the history of God's people.
• Cultural and Religious Impact: Jacob's narrative has been influential in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. In Christianity, he is often seen as a type of Christ, with his life foreshadowing aspects of Jesus' ministry and mission. His story is also a source of moral and spiritual lessons, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, faith, and the transformative power of God's grace.
