Time Period: A Flashback
Genesis 29: 16-18 says now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah. The name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was l
lovely in form and beautiful. Jacob was in love with Rachel. He said "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel". Genesis 30: 22-24 says God
remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Joseph saying may the lord add to me
another son".
Time Period: The Present Reality
Jacob's p.o.v
We were bound for Forks, Washington. While we were still some distance from Seattle, Rachel's water broke. The labor and birth took a dangerous toll on Rachel's body.
I feared I would lose both her and the baby. The midwife said to Rachel, "don't be afraid for you will have another son". As Rachel breathed her last, she named our son
"Ben-Oni". I renamed him Benjamin. Depressed, I buried my beloved wife on the way to Forks. I placed a pillar over her tombstone. To this day that pillar marks Rachel's
grave site.
