Genesis 25:26

And then his brother came—and his hand held on to Esau's heel (Hebr. akev). And he was named Jacob (Hebr. Jaaqov). Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.
[Both sons' names are included in wordplay. Jacob's name alludes to him "holding the heel." The older brother is thus named after his appearance and the younger after his actions. Esau was born reddish, and Jacob was born to grab someone by the heel. The verb aqav has a negative meaning of pushing away, deceiving, and taking away, see Gen. 27:36; Jer. 9:4.]
