Re: name meaning
in reply to a message by Debra
What was the bible story about Jacob being the second twin but getting the inheritance for himself? Terribly hazy as you can see - it's too early in the morning for my teeny brain - but there might be something in there that you could find. Good luck

You're thinking of the story of Esau, the elder twin that sold his birthright to his younger brother, Jacob, and is hated by God while Jacob is favored. "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." Romans 9:15
