Commentary
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary**20. and Jacob set a pillar on her grave ... unto this day--**The spot still marked out as the grave of Rachel exactly agrees with the Scriptural record, being about a mile from Beth-lehem. Anciently it was surmounted by a pyramid of stones, but the present tomb is a Mohammedan erection.
