Jacob's beloved wife — beautiful, long-awaited, and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin
open_in_newJacob fell in love with Rachel at first sight and worked fourteen years to marry her (Genesis 29). She struggled with infertility while her sister Leah had multiple sons. God eventually gave her Joseph, then Benjamin — but she died giving birth to Benjamin on the road to Bethlehem (Genesis 35:16-19). Jeremiah 31:15 pictures Rachel 'weeping for her children,' a verse Matthew applies to the slaughter of Bethlehem's infants.
