Rachel

 

Pronunciation:  RAY-chuhl

Occurrences:  1

First Reference:  Yeshua 2:25

 

And think not to yourselves, you sons of darkness, that in the temple you shall be made clean before the Lord at his coming; neither think you that God shall be pleased with that house which Herod built, for God has rejected even all his offering for Rachel’s sake.

 

 

See:  Herod the Great

 

Summary:  In a response to a group of Herodians (Y:2:12-32), John the Baptizer makes reference to Rachel, saying that “God has rejected even all [Herod’s] offering for Rachel’s sake” (Y:2:25). In a cursory sense, this is most likely a reference to the Rachel mentioned in Hebrew scripture (Jeremiah 31:15). In Jewish tradition, Rachel represented a symbol of motherly sorrow for the children of Israel.
