{{summary | text=''Synopsis:'' Jacob was an important figure in the [[Old Testament]]. His story is told in the [[Book of Genesis]]. He was the son of [[Isaac]], who was the son of [[Abraham]]. He purchased the birthright from his brother [[Esau]] for a pot of soup, and his wife [[Rachel]] from his uncle [[Laban]] in return for seven years labour. God later renamed Jacob to Israel after he wrestled with an angel, and he became the father of the Israelites.}} {{overview}} {{also}} {{ebd}}
