	Jacob (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		When Isaac was about 160 years of age, Jacob and his mother conspired to deceive the aged patriarch (Gen. 27), with the view of procuring the transfer of the birthright to himself.
		Laban would not consent to give him his daughter in marriage till he had served seven years; but to Jacob these years "seemed but a few days, for the love he had to her." But when the seven years were expired, Laban craftily deceived Jacob, and gave him his daughter Leah.
		Jacob was soon after this deeply grieved by the loss of his beloved son Joseph through the jealousy of his brothers (37:33).

	Jacob - Lostpedia

		Jacob is literally translated in Hebrew as "holds the heel," and is a play on words that means "trickster" or "deceiver." His mother Rebekah named him thus because while his twin brother Esau was firstborn, Jacob came out of the womb hanging on to his heel.
		Jacob became the "father of a nation" through his 12 sons—he was clearly a very fertile man. (The Others and Mittelos Bioscience seem to be doing research connected with fertility.

	Jacob's Ladder (Climbing Arc) Construction
		The simple explanation is that an arc starts at the bottom and due to the fact that hot air rises, tends to move up the diverging rods until they are too far apart for the voltage provided by the power source.
		There are only two major parts to a basic Jacob's Ladder: a high voltage power source and a pair of rods arranged in a narrow V configuration on an insulated and fireproof support.
		A Jacob's Ladder works on the principle that the ionized air in the arc is a lower resistance than the air around it and heated air rises.

	Jacob and Esau and the Emergence of the Jewish People
		Jacob is to become Israel (literally: one who struggles with God) whose energy is to be directed by the covenant with God, while Esau will struggle with men and animals (nature) to become, in the eyes of the Midrash, the exemplar of a non-Jewish imperial ruler.
		Jacob emerges as he is to live the first half of his life, struggling for personal advantage, as Yaakov, one who grasps at the heel of his brother, trying to get out first.
		Jacob continues to display characteristics which are later to become part of the non-Jewish stereotype of Jews (although they are only prominent, not typical -- witness the very different characters of Abraham and Isaac), while Esau continues to display characteristics which are later to become part of the Jewish stereotype of non-Jews ("goyim").

	Biblical Lives: Jacob
		Jacob's life seems to be one predominated by his having to flee from one circumstance after another.
		One more time, though, we find Jacob and his clan moving on--this time because his daughter Dinah had been talked into having sex with a gentile man in the area, and two of her brothers then took revenge on the village, killing everyone in it.
		The first was a vision in which Jacob saw a ladder reaching up to heaven; the second was a wrestling match with God that ended when God touhed Jacob's thigh and made it wither; the third was a directive to return to Bethel.
