MODULE 6: SESSION 27: The Death of Rachel and Isaac

Rakhel’s difficult labor recalls both the promise of a victorious seed and the dire consequences for the woman in Genesis 3:15-16. Reuben’s sexual assault against Bilhah is another instance in a pattern of illicit sex used in a grab for power. The four burials in Genesis 35 each recall moments of deception in Yaaqov’s story.
