Rachel's Tomb

Rachel's Tomb (Hebrew: קבר רחל‎‎ translit. Kever Rakhel, Arabic: قبر راحيل‎‎ translit. Qubr Raheel) is the site revered as the burial place of the Hebrew matriarch Rachel. The tomb, located at the northern entrance of Bethlehem, is considered holy to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Since the mid-1990s the site has been referred to by Palestinians as the Bilal bin Rabah mosque (Arabic: مسجد بلال بن رباح‎‎). The burial place of the matriarch Rachel as mentioned in the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Old Testament, and in Muslim literature is contested between this site and several others to the north. Although this site is considered unlikely to be the actual site of the grave, it is by far the most recognized candidate.
