What is Rachels Tomb?
RACHEL'S TOMB
Gen 35:19-20. The traditional site of the tomb of Rachel is on the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, about half a mile from the latter place. An insignificant building with a dome in the Muslim style marks the spot. The building has been repeatedly restored, and is not older than the fifteenth century. The tomb is revered by Muslims, Christians, and Jews and visited by pilgrims. (See cut, p. 721.)
