Before studying the life of Yosef (Joseph), we look back at some of what we have learned about God and His interaction with some of His notable people.

Rachel v. Leah: The names of the 12 Sons of Israel

Rachel envied her sister, Leah, and Leah hated Rachel because Ya’akov (Jacob) loved her. The names of the his 12 sons reflect this tug of war between the sisters and contain prophecies to be fulfilled hundreds of years later.

Ya’akov finds God then Rachel (Genesis 28-29)

Ya’akov (Jacob) is sent away to find a wife and finds God first at the bottom of a ladder to Heaven. Then he finds Rachel and ends up with her sister and two slave women. There seems to be something prophetic about Rachel.
