- He had a twin brother named Esau. Esau was born several seconds before Jacob. Esau was born covered with red hair and so his name Esau means Red. Jacob grabbed Esau's heel when he was born and so he was named Jacob which means "heel".

- God mentioned Him, his grandfather Abraham, and his father Isaac in the burning bush scene in The Prince of Egypt.
