The Bible claims that this woman is buried on the road from Bethel to Ephrath, and what is generally believed to be her tomb is now in a Muslim cemetery near Bethlehem. She met her husband while tending her father's sheep when he kissed her and said he was her cousin. Her handmaid Zilpah gave birth to Gad and Asher with this woman's husband before this woman gave birth to her first son, Joseph. Women visit her tomb to pray for a successful childbirth, which is ironic because she died while giving birth to Benjamin. After working for seven years, her husband mistakenly married her older sister, and had to work an extra seven years to marry this woman, his favorite wife.  Name this niece of Rebecca, husband of Jacob, and sister of Leah.
