Did they ever say what the brother's name is?

Much of the episode reminds me of the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau. They were twins; their father favored Esau while their mother favored Jacob. Esau is described as a hunter gather and Jacob is a trickster. Easu was to be blessed and inherit everything but was tricked by his brother, Jacob who didn't like being second choice.
