“The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:”
The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. The two sons of Rachel — Joseph, the beloved son of the beloved wife, and Benjamin, born at the cost of Rachel's life — are the sons through whom the most significant covenant stories will be told. The application: Rachel's two sons will carry the narratives that close Genesis. The mother who died on the Bethlehem road lives in the stories of her children.
