Genesis 12:11As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,Genesis 30:1–2When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.Jeremiah 31:15This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”Genesis 29:6–12“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”Genesis 24:16Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.Genesis 30:22Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,Genesis 46:19–22The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.Genesis 35:24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.Genesis 48:7Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).Genesis 29:18Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”Proverbs 31:30Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.Genesis 35:19–20So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).Genesis 39:6So Potiphar left all that he owned in Joseph’s care; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
