In 1734 Johann Peter Reusch brought him back to Jena as his assistant. He did not succeed in an academic career at the newly founded University of Göttingen despite the protection of Gerlach Adolph von Münchhausen , who gave him permission to read in spite of the lack of a doctorate. In 1738 he became a preacher in Osterode am Harz , in 1744 at the Kreuzkirche and in 1755 at the Marktkirche in Hanover . In 1758 Jacobi became consistorial advisor, general superintendent of the general diocese of Lüneburg-Celle and thus the first preacher at the town church in Celle. In 1764 he was one of the founders of the Celle Agricultural Society . In 1768 he was also dean of the Bardowick monastery . At the 50th anniversary of the University of Göttingen, he was awarded an honorary doctorate .
He married Juliane Marie Münter, daughter of the pastor Andreas Hermann Münter (1686–1732). The lawyer Andreas Ludolf Jacobi is his son.
