Yaʿăqōb is a proper noun referring to an individual in early Israelite tradition, notably the third patriarch, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the father of the twelve figures regarded as ancestral to the Israelite tribes. The name's primary lexical meaning relates to the image of grasping the heel, often associated with the narrative of his birth.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3290-01
in Yaʿaqov the Heel-Grasper
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in") + proper masculine singular noun יַעֲקֹב (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition בְ is rendered as "in," attached to the proper masculine singular name Yaʿaqov, whose etymology derives from the root meaning "to seize by the heel." Retaining "Heel-Grasper" preserves the root-based sense embedded in the personal name. |
