THE EIGHTEENTH EXAMPLE.
OF JACOB.
OF IACOB.
THE word Jacob signifieth, he holds the heel: the reason of which name you may read Gen. 25. 26. He and Esau were Twins born at one birth, Esau was the first borne, and when he was borne, his brother came out after him and held him by the heel, whence this name was given him.
THE word Iacob signifieth, he holds the heele: the reason of which name you may reade Gen. 25. 26. He and Esau were Twins born at one birth, Esau was the first borne, and when he was borne, his brother came out after him and held him by the heele, whence this name was given him.
Of Jacob we must show three things, as in former Examples. His birth, life, and death.
