THE STORY OF JACOB'S ONE TRUE LOVE:
We all know that Jacob loved Rachel first and wanted to marry her and since she was the second daughter of Laban, he told him to marry Leah instead of Rachel since Leah was the first child of Laban.
The condition of Laban was for Jacob to work for 7 years for Laban in order to get Leah as his wife. So after getting Leah as his wife, he went ahead and worked for another 7 years to get Rachel from her father as his wife. Thus, Jacob worked full 14 years to get Rachel as his wife. So while working for the first 7 years, he was thinking of only Rachel in his heart and mind but got Leah that he did not request for (BY FORCE MARRIAGE). And when Jacob worked the remaining 7 years of the 14 years and at the end he got his "TROPHY WIFE WHO WAS RACHEL AS HIS SECOND WIFE" because he won the battle of undying love with passion and dedication (INSTANT LOVE MARRIAGE). JACOB KNEW WHAT HE WANTED AND FOUGHT FOR HER TILL HE GOT HER AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY SAY, "IT IS BETTER LATE THAN NEVER."
Then Rachel had her first son called "JOSEPH" for Jacob (who is also called Israel) at his old age which means that while her elder sister Leah was giving birth freely to several children in their husband's house (that is, Jacob's house), "RACHEL WAS SUFFERING FROM BARRENESS IN HER BELOVED HUSBAND'S HOUSE." SO SAD!!!!!
Rachel died while having serious severe complications during her second child birth (that is, having serious severe labour pains while having her second son) and with her "LAST BREATH" she called her second son "BENONI" but his father also named him "BENJAMIN." "THIS MEANS THAT RACHEL (THE MOTHER OF THE ISRAELITES WHO CRIED AS THAT WICKED KING HEROD ORDERED THE KILLING OF ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN IN ISRAEL WHEN THE THREE WISE MEN DID NOT RETURN BACK TO HIS PALACE WITH FEEDBACK ON JESUS CHRIST'S WHEREABOUT/PRECISE LOCATION BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN WARNED THAT KING HEROD WHO GAVE THEM SO MUCH WARM WELCOME ACTUALLY DID THAT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO KILL THE INFANT BABY JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS PROPHESIED TO BEING "THE KING OF ISREAL"). So, the well known "BENJAMIN" THE BELOVED BROTHER OF JOSEPH IS ALSO "BENONI" THE BELOVED BROTHER OF JOSEPH. For instance, this is like me as an individual human being known as "CHISOM" THE BELOVED DAUGHTER OF "RICHARD NWANKWO" and at the same time also known as "VICTORIA" THE BELOVED DAUGHTER OF "RICHARD NWANKWO." THE REASON WHY MY FULL NAME IS AS WRITTEN: "RICHNWANKWO VICTORIA CHISOM."
* "JACOB EVEN HAD A PERSONAL MIDWIFE FOR HIS RACHEL ON THE JOURNEY BUT STILL SHE DIED, WHICH EVEN VIRGIN MARY DID NOT HAVE WHEN SHE WAS HEAVILY PREGNANT WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST." DEATH CAN SHOCK ANYBODY!!! IN THIS CASE, JACOB (WHO IS ALSO KNOWN AS ISRAEL) COULD BEAT HIS CHEST AND SAY TO HIMSELF, "I DID ALL I COULD TO TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE AND HER PREGNANCY. GOD GIVES AND GOD TAKES." AND IT IS ALSO THE CASE OF: "THE RICH ALSO CRY."
Rachel's death during child birth happened during a journey from Bethel to Ephrath and they were not too far from Ephrath when her labour pain started and she had "TO GIVE BIRTH ON THE ROAD" and consequently died due to complication. Do you now see that Rachel's death taught the whole of Israel and generations to come lesson of their lifetime? And this must be why even if Joseph the Carpenter was too poor to get his lovely wife Virgin Mary (who is first of all the bride of the Holy Spirit) with a midwife on her own journey for population census, they looked for an "INN" which one can say is like a hospital of today and when they realised that there was no space for them at the Inn, they improvised and used a manger instead because a manger is better than nothing at all. In comparison, a moderately comfortable place for a woman in labour pain is better than a well prepared and educated mid-wife." By the way, "EPHRATH IS NOW WELL KNOWN AS BETHLEHEM" where Jesus Christ was born.
REMEMBER THAT: JOSEPH, THE CARPENTER TOOK HIS WIFE VIRGIN MARY (WHO IS THE BRIDE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT) ON A JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM BECAUSE OF POPULATION CENSUS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
Rachel was beside the road leading to Bethlehem (that is also known as Ephrath) which means that she did not even enter Bethlehem. Jacob marked her grave with a "MEMORIAL STONE" just like we do bury people six (6) feet deep under the ground then fill it up with sand in a coffin shape to show that someone was buried there and some even go as far as putting up tiles or any long lasting stone with the full name and the year range of the existence of such a person that died death here in this world (on earth). Thus, for the sake that Jacob buried "his beloved one and only irreplaceble RACHEL" like that, it means that such way of burying people is a "GREAT SYMBOL OF LOVE WITH A BROKEN/DEVASTATED HEART OF THE BEREAVED."
"Jacob moved on" doesn't mean that he totally forgot his "CAPTIVATING RACHEL" but it meant that he continued his journey to live in the other side of the tower of Eder which means that "a tower in a place called Eder separated where Jacob finally settled down and where he buried Rachel.
With such a " FRESH DEATH" he could not bear to move too far from the grave of his wife.
We should also remember that the lack of food (that is, famine) made him agree to move his family to a place where they won't starve (that is, Egypt where Joseph was the second in command to the "WELCOMING PHAROAH" back then).
"WHEN A MAN LOVES, HE TRULY LOVES!!!"
(IN PIDGIN ENGLISH): I GO LOVE O!!! E END FOR MIXTURE OF SADNESS AND HAPPINESS BUT THEIR TRUE LOVE STORY DEY SWEET MY BELLE!!!
ACCORDING TO GENESIS 35: 16-21
JACOB AND HIS FAMILY LEFT BETHEL, AND WHEN THEY WERE STILL SOME DISTANCE FROM EPHRATH, THE TIME CAME FOR RACHEL TO HAVE HER BABY, AND SHE WAS HAVING DIFFICULT LABOUR. WHEN HER LABOUR PAINS WERE AT THEIR WORST, THE MIDWIFE SAID TO HER, "DON'T BE AFRAID, RACHEL; IT'S ANOTHER BOY." BUT SHE WAS DYING AND AS SHE BREATHED HER LAST, SHE NAMED HER SON BENONI, BUT HIS FATHER NAMED HIM BENJAMIN. WHEN RACHEL DIED, SHE WAS BURIED BESIDE THE ROAD TO EPHRATH, NOW KNOWN AS BETHLEHEM. JACOB SET UP A MEMORIAL STONE THERE, AND IT STILL MARKS RACHEL'S GRAVE TO THIS DAY. JACOB MOVED ON AND SET UP HIS CAMP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOWER EDER.
