"Tobias (Τοβίας) is a Greek version of the Hebrew biblical name "Toviyah" (טוביה), meaning "The goodness of God".It is a popular male given name in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and amongst Jewish people."
JACOB
"The name comes either from the Hebrew root עקב ʿqb meaning "to follow, to be behind" but also "to supplant, circumvent, assail, overreach", or from the word for "heel", עֲקֵב ʿaqeb.
In the narrative of Genesis, it refers to the circumstances of Jacob's birth when he held on to the heel of his older twin brother Esau (Genesis 25:26). The name is etymologized (in direct speech by the character Esau) in Genesis 27:36, adding the significance of Jacob having "supplanted" his elder brother by buying his birthright."

AWWW. Poor Esau. Jacob took his twin brother's birthright for a POT OF STEW!
How very UN-SJW of Jacob!
