Strong's G4478 Ῥαχήλ (rhachel)

And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.

While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father’s sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.

And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother.

And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.

And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebekah; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.

Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.

And the eyes of Leah were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.

And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for thy younger daughter Rachel.

And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.

And it was morning, and behold it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that thou hast done to me? did I not serve thee for Rachel? and wherefore hast thou deceived me?

And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Bilhah, for a handmaid to her.

And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Leah; and he served him seven other years.

And when the Lord God saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?

And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Bilhah, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

And Bilhah, Rachel’s maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.

And Bilhah, Rachel’s maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.

And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Naphtali.

And Reuben went in the day of barley harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah; and Rachel said to Leah her sister, Give me of thy son’s mandrakes.

And Leah said, Is it not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son’s mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee tonight for thy son’s mandrakes.

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and he opened her womb.

And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.

And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

And Jacob sent and called Leah and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.

And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?

And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father’s images.

And Jacob said, With whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of thy property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.

And Laban went in and searched in the house of Leah, and found them not; and he went out of the house of Leah, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.

And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camels’ packs, and sat upon them.

And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and beheld, and lo! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Leah and to Rachel, and the two handmaids.

And he put the two handmaids and their children with the first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

And Leah and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.

And Jacob removed from Bethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder, and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephrath, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor.

So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephrath, this is Bethlehem.

And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.

And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.

And the sons of Bilhah, the handmaid of Rachel; Dan and Naphtali.

And the sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob; Joseph, and Benjamin.

These are the sons of Rachel, which she bore to Jacob; all the souls eighteen.

These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, who bore these to Jacob; all the souls, seven.

And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, thy mother, died in the land of Canaan, as I drew nigh to the horse course of Chabratha of the land of Canaan, so as to come to Ephrath; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.

And all the people who were in the gate said, We are witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Leah, who both together built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephrathah, and there shall be a name to thee in Bethlehem.

As soon as thou shalt have departed this day from me, thou shalt find two men by the burial place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to thee, The asses are found which ye went to seek; and, behold, thy father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

A voice was heard in Ramah, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
