Rachel was Jacob's favorite wife, though he was tricked into marrying her older sister Leah first and had to work another seven years for Rachel herself, and her long struggle with infertility while Leah bore son after son is one of the more painful family dynamics in Genesis. She eventually gave birth to Joseph and later died giving birth to Benjamin on the road to Bethlehem, where a pillar marking her tomb is mentioned as still standing when Genesis was written.
