We will continue to examine the two suggestions for the location of Rachel’s burial and how each one explains the different verses:
If she was buried in Bet Lechem of Judah – will we need to interpret differently: “A voice was heard in Ramah“? We will need to explain that Rachel’s sons who left Jerusalem for exile were on their way south to Egypt! And we will also try to explain the verse in Samuel that explicitly says that Rachel’s burial is in Benjamin! Can this also be explained, if she is buried in Bet Lechem??
