    19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. In chap37 verses 9 and 10 Why did Jacob ask, should your Mother which was dead and your brothers bow down to you?

    Probably because Rachel was symbolized in his dream as the 'moon'. Jacob was asking Joseph what he thought the dream meant. His question had a tone of rebuke, but Jacob kept it in his heart. It actually meant that the son of Jacob and Rachel would some day rule over the other 11 sons of Jacob. Jacob's comment also interprets the sun-clothed woman in Rev. 12 as the nation of Israel.

    Probable is not the answer. GOD deals in definite. Where does it say Rachel, is dead in Genesis 37? Rachel is alive according to Genesis 37:10. "...shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?"
