Commentary on Genesis 35:20

Theological / Devotional

Rachel’s grave. The stone “pillar” that Jacob erected over Rachel’s grave remained a famous landmark for centuries. It was still standing in the times of Moses and of Samuel (1 Sam. 10:2). The chapel Kubbet Rachil, “the grave of Rachel,” a very short distance to the north of Bethlehem, may perhaps be located over or near Rachel’s actual grave. The present building, of Moslem construction and but four centuries old, marks the traditional spot generally accepted by Moslems, Christians, and Jews.
