Jacob (Heb. Ya'acov) was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham the first Hebrew. The Lord changed Jacob's name to Israel and he became the father of 12 sons who became the 12 tribes of Israel (Gen. 25-50).
Jacob and his mother deceived his father Isaac into blessing Jacob and he fled eastward. Along the way he saw in a dream a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending which proved to be a type of Jesus. God revealed to Jacob His plan of redemption through offering His only son as a substitute for the sins of the whole world. to his uncle Laban's home where he married and gave birth to many children. Although Laban proved to be more deceitful than Jacob, God was with Jacob and blessed him greatly.
The land of Canaan would become the inheritance of the descendants of Abraham, and Jacob his grandson would become the father of the twelve tribes who would inherit the land promised by God. Jacob actually purchased a some land at Shechem. Later he journeyed southward and dwelt at Hebron which was the location of the events around his son Joseph. He was finally buried in Hebron at the family tomb, the Cave of Machpelah.

Laban was outraged and pursued them to Mizpah, the Lord intervened for Jacob and in Mizpah Laban made a treaty of peace with Jacob (Gen. 31:1-55).
5. Mahanaim. It was at Mahanaim that a host of angels came to comfort Jacob. Also from Mahanaim Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to request peace from his brother Esau (Gen. 32:1-5).
6. Peniel. Jacob stayed at the brook Jabbok, near Peniel, the night. His messengers told him the news of Esau's coming (Gen. 32:6-8) and Jacob became troubled and prayed for help and deliverance (Gen. 32:9-12). He sent gifts ahead of his caravan to determine the situation with Esau, if he rejected the gifts then Jacob knew there would be trouble (Gen. 32:13-20). That very night the Angel of the Lord wrestled with him in a dream (Gen. 32:24-32) and because Jacob strove with God and prevailed the Lord changed his name to Israel. The next morning Esau came, and his desire was to be kind to his brother (Gen. 33:1-16).
