Jacob (Young)
Jacob, whose name means ‘a supplanter’, was born with his hand grasping Esau’s heel (that’s called a tag-team). Jacob traded his bowl of stew for his brother Esau's birthright. He became very wealthy and eventually restored his relationship with his brother. At Peniel, God gave Jacob the name Israel, which means “prince with God”. During the time of famine, Jacob went to live in Egypt where his son, Joseph, was second-in-command to Pharaoh.

Esau
Esau received his name, which means ‘hairy’, when he was born because he was very red and covered with thick hair like a fur coat. Esau was born first, with his twin brother Jacob grasping his heel. He grew up loving the outdoors and he became a skillful hunter. Esau ‘sold’ his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Esau and Jacob were separated for many years but Esau forgave him and they were reconciled.

Isaac
Isaac, whose name means ‘he laughs’ was the only son of Abraham and Sarah. God blessed Isaac and he became a wealthy man. He was a man of peace and when the jealous Philistines filled up his wells, he avoided conflict. Instead of fighting them, he just moved and dug new wells. Isaac died at the age of 180 years, after Jacob had returned with his family from Mesopotamia.
