4. | Jacob was born about 1892 BC (son of Isaac and Rebecca); died in 1745 BC. Notes:
Jacob, son of Isaac and Rebecca, was born about the year 1892 B.C. He was about 147 years of age when he died in 1745 B.C. He married two women, his beloved Rachel, and the eldest daughter of Laban, Leah and had children to them and also to their handmaidens, Bilhah and Zilpah, respectively. To Leah, the eldest daughter of Laban, were born: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah. Rachel could not bear children, and so she offered her maid, Bilhah to Jacob. To Bilhah were born: Dan and Naphtali. Leah then offered her maid, Zilpah to Jacob. To Zilpah were born: Gad and Asher. Leah then bore two more sons, Issachar and Zebulin, and a daughter, Dinah. Rachel eventually bore children to Jacob. To Rachel, the youngest daughter of Laban, were born: Joseph and Benjamin. Because Laban had not wanted to part with his youngest daughter Rachel, with whom Jacob fell in love, he tricked Jacob into entering into a period of seven years service for her hand in marriage. But he also tricked him into accepting the hand of his eldest daughter, Leah, before he might have Rachel, by telling Jacob that it was his people?s custom that the eldest daughter must be married first before a younger one. And on top of the insult, Laban insisted that Jacob work for seven years for Leah also. After the fourteen years of service to Laban, he remained an additional six years and amassed great wealth. This led to some friction between Jacob and Laban, and so at length Jacob left his house and set out for Canaan. He sent greetings to his brother, Esau. In return a messenger told Jacob that Esau was sending four hundred soldiers to greet him. Jacob feared that the news meant that Esau wished to engage him in battle, and he was distressed. Jacob spent that night in prayer, and during his praying, an angel of the Lord came and wrestled with Jacob. Because of the strength of his faith in the wrestling with the angel of the Lord, the Lord changed his name to Israel (i.e. wrestler with God).
