Erzählerin:
Way way back many centuries ago,
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan,
A fine example of a family man.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Depended on farming to earn their keep.
Jacob, Jacob and Sons
Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep.
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number of children he'd had
He was also known as Israel, but most of the time
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad.
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons
A remarkable family in anyone's book.
Erzählerin, Brüder, Kinder & Frauen:
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi the next in line
Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Joseph - Jacob's favourite son
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jaco Jacob Jacob
Jacob and
sons
