All God's Women takes listeners on a Bible study journey highlighting the stories of women in the Bible. We look at the familiar and famous Bible women as well as the obscure and unknown. Each has a story to tell, and host Sharon Wilharm loves sharing them. Discover life lessons we can take away from each of these ancient women and apply them to our modern day lives.

episode 237: Deborah and Rachel's Deaths
Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died and was buried under a terebinth tree in Bethel, and the tree was called Allon Bachuth, which means “oak of weeping”.
The family continued journeying, this time to Ephrath, or Bethlehem, but Rachel was pregnant and went into labor during their travel. The midwife tried to comfort her saying, “ “Do not fear, for you have another son.” But Rachel didn’t make it. During her dying moments, she named her son Benoni, which means “son of my sorrow,” but Jacob called him Benjamin, which means “son of the right hand.”
Rachel was buried on the way to Ephrath.
Two women whose deaths are recorded in the same chapter of the Bible. One worked selflessly in the shadows, the other spent her days thinking only of herself.
All God's Women is a daily women's Bible study podcast and internationally syndicated radio show where we journey through the Bible one woman at a time. If you enjoy learning about women in the Bible, tune in each weekday for bite-sized Bible stories about Bible women.
