And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave". ( Genesis 35:19 Genesis 35:20 ) The site of Rachels tomb, "on the way to Bethlehem," "a little way to come to Ephrath," "in the border of Benjamin," never been questioned. Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and wept. It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. The incidents of her life may be found in Genesis29-33, 35. Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her. Their passionate romance was marked by love's inspiring endurance and sacrifice as well as its ugly face of jealousy (Genesis 25—35). 3.3 3. Thus saith Jehovah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. When Jacob protested, Laban gave him Rachel also, on condition that Jacob serve 7 years more (29:21-29). Laban also gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. Her memory lived on in Israel long after she died. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. In her eagerness to become a mother of children, Rachel bargained with Leah for the mandrakes, or love-apples of her son Reuben, but all to no avail (Genesis 30:14). Da and Naphtali were the offspring of this union. And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. Then Jacob's anger burned against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?" So Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed." Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son." And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. According to the custom of the times Jacob contracted with Laban for her possession, agreeing to serve him 7 years as the stipulated price (29:17-20). And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. Copyright © 2020, Bible Study Tools. Therefore she named him Dan. The beauty of Rachel, Jacobs deep love and long servitude for her, their marriage, and Rachels death on giving birth to Benjamin, with Jacobs grief at her loss, ( Genesis 48:7 ) makes a touching tale. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? "Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me depart; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you." The name Rachel means “ewe” 3.2 2. The incidents of her life may be found in Genesis29-33, 35. After the arrival in Canaan, while they were on the way from Beth-el to Ephrath, i.e. So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). But he said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you and how your cattle have fared with me. So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. She hoped by securing the household gods of her father to bring prosperity to her own new household. Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flock: let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.
