She was gorgeous and had a hot body, she was the favourite of her hubby yet she didn’t last in marriage! It appears beauty is not enough!

Rachel was beautiful in face and body( Gen 29:17). Her physical appearance swept Jacob off his feet and he worked 14yrs to have her as wife!

She was also a hardworking lady, a shepherdess(Gen 29:9). Jacob loved her work ethics.

Rachel however had some flaws which probably because of her looks were overlooked by Jacob!

1- Stealing and Idolatry
Gen 31: 19 When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household gods.

2- Lying and deceit
Gen 31:34,35
34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them inside her camel’s saddle and was sitting on them. Laban searched through everything in the tent but found nothing.
35 Rachel said to her father, “Don’t be angry, my lord, that I cannot stand up in your presence; I’m having my period.” So he searched but could not find the household gods.

3- Jealousy
Gen 30:1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister.

4- Unhealthy Competition with her Sister
Gen 30:7 Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali.

5- Mental health struggles/Desperation
Gen 30:1. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”

Rachel was an uncommon beauty but had her flaws just like all of us. She sadly died after the birth of her second son Benjamin! She sadly did not live long enough to enjoy her marriage! It was devastating for Jacob as well!

Jacob unknowingly cursed Rachel to death when Laban pursued and asked about his stolen gods
Gen 31:31,32
31 Jacob answered Laban, “I was afraid, because I thought you would take your daughters away from me by force. 32 But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live. ……Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods.

Leah who was not favoured initially eventually became the number one and gave Jacob six sons and a daughter!

Prov 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Hmmnn

Foolish stupid biblical stories

The woman too beautiful

Hope u didn't support Tinubu the man that fall claims he doubale for democracy. God almighty in his infinity mercy grant us Peter Obi as president

SlavaUkraini:
She is still the Mother of Joseph...

The Greatest of the 12 Sons...

She gave birth to Quality and not Quality.

So Allow Rachel to "Breathe", forget her Flaws.

Exactly

Oh rachel !!! Dnt be like rachel if u are a girl nd reading this.

Theama:


Hmmnn

She died becuase Jacob unknowingly cursed her. Don't say those things don't matter in the Word.

For a man to have rest of mind... Marry one wife and stay faithful and loyal till death do you part.

Even if it means waiting till Mrs Right is found, don't rush and marry into mistake, and then now start marrying more wives... Lol

You don't know what you are talking about.

Happiness and rest of mind in marriage is an illusion. Even if you don't want problems, problems would seek you out.

So nothing to learn from this topic?

Baronthecelebri:
Rachel was beauty without brain.
And don't know how to make her marriage work, Leah gave Jacob manpower so that he can perform well.

This is an example of cherry-picking what suits you......Jacob also sleep with Rachel's servant and she bore Him Naphtali..Jacob had 2 wives and concubines..Yet Jacob is Not Judged to be a sinner ...Hypocrytes everywhere....Rachel was hidding the idols of Laban because its Idolatory she did not steal it, just to discourage Laban from Idol worshipping.

I don't know what to call this ,I always forget to ask.
Why is it that there are no restrictions when one wants to contribute to Christian topics on Nairaland but each time I want to make comments on Islamic topics,one is restricted unless you swear an oath of allegiance.

That's not very good, Its true that many make provocative comments but if Nairaland has enough moderators, the abuse of the platform can be controlled to the barest minimum.

MaxInDHouse:
Her problem came through her father!

Rachel was Jacob's choice but Laban didn't want her to get married before her elder sister which is not necessary Leah started sleeping with her husband from the day they got married that's why she had many sons before seven years when Laban later gave Rachel to the same man.

The mistake Rachel made was nursing the idea that Leah stole her man because she's the one Jacob love not Leah had it been she refused to marry him after having her sister she wouldn't have been through all those troubles.

Later God told the Israelite men not to repeat what Jacob did to the two daughters of Laban:

“‘You must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while her sister is alive" Leviticus 18:18

She shouldn't have agreed to marry her sister's husband since Jacob has been sleeping with Leah!

Leah was an uncommon woman.

She watched for 7 years as her husband worked for her father so he could marry another woman.

Do whatever you like with that

femi4:
Her death has nothing to do with her character

This your caption and the overall message was poorly articulated

Exactly my thoughts.

Yes, that that you think is important... staying in marriage is by God's grace to those who believe in God but luck to those who believe in luck .
Only Tolerance and being foolish can make it work ,to reasonable people..

Jacob according to you said if you find it, meaning the condition for death here is if Jacob finds it which he didn't, I am surprised what you guys gain in twisting an already debated scriptures creating More doubts and agnostics and like your fake G.os such as adeboyes you guys don't care when you mock your religion.

But continue, soon nobody go dey drop offering and thithe for una.
