Rachel was the wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. Her father was Laban and Jacob was required to work seven years to marry her, although he was actually tricked into working for fourteen. Rachel is seen as Jacob's favorite wife and thus her son Benjamin is described in the Bible as being most dear to Jacob after the death of Rachel and the apparent death of Joseph.
