Laban's younger daughter, beautiful and well favoured; Jacob served seven years for her and they seemed but a few days; barren while her sister bore, until God remembered her and she bore Joseph; died bearing Benjamin on the way to Bethlehem.

Counted from Scripture: Joseph was born when Jacob was ninety-one (Joseph was thirty-nine when Jacob, at 130, came to Egypt); Scripture does not give Rachel's age.

My father searched the tents and found nothing. I sat on the camels' furniture and said, Let it not displease my lord: I cannot rise... I hid his images. The God who remembered me never needed hiding.

Joseph is here now, and I still say it out loud some mornings: God hath taken away my reproach. I remember the years of silence. Then God remembered me, and hearkened to me, and opened my womb... I called him Joseph.

I remember when my sister had sons and I had none, and I said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. Envy gave me nothing. Then God remembered me, and I held Joseph. He remembers you too.

Brought the sheep to the well today. A stranger rolled the stone away by himself, watered our flock, kissed me and lifted up his voice and wept. He's my cousin, Jacob.
