The beloved wife of Jacob

Rachel as illustrated in the Bible is the beloved wife of Jacob, one of the three Biblical Patriarchs, and mother of Joseph and Benjamin. She was the daughter of Laban and the younger sister of Leah, Jacob's first wife. Jacob was her first cousin, and she was the youngest niece of Rebekah.


Rachel's son, Joseph, is intended to be the leader of Israel's tribes between exile and nationhood. This role is demonstrated in the Biblical story of Joseph, who prepared the way in Egypt for his family's exile there, and in the future figure of Mashiach ben Yosef (Messiah, son of Joseph), who, in the Rabbinic Jewish view, will battle the apocalyptic Wars of Gog and Magog, paving the way for the kingship of Mashiach ben David (Messiah, son of David) and the messianic age. Rachel also had a second son named Benjamin; she died during labor with him.
