Definition: In Hebrews 12, the verse about the "children of Jacob" refers to a group of individuals who were among the twelve tribes of Israel that God chose to be his people at the time of his first covenant with Abraham (Gen. 17:5-9). This community was called a "kindred" by God and had a specific role in the land of Canaan, specifically in the region of the Promised Land. It seems that the verse is discussing the genealogical relationship between the tribes of Israel and their descendants who eventually came to be known as "alunites."
