What is the story of Rebecca in the bible?

Answer 1

Rebbecca was the wife of Jacob. Jacob was the son of Issac. Issac was the son of Abraham( The friend of GOD). The story of Jacob is somewhat long, but I'll try to summarize it the best I can. Jacob was a twin, Esaw was his older brother. Jacob received something that was supposed to be for Esaw. Esaw got angry and Jacob left. Jacob went to his cousin's house and there is where he met Rebbecca. they had 2 children together. Joesph and Benjamin. There is a lot more to this. You should read it.

Another contributor says:

The above answer confuses Rachel with Rebecca.

Rebecca (Hebrew: Rivkah) was the sister of Laban and a descendant of Terah. She helped her family by going to the town well to draw water. One time she saw a stranger, and she gave him to drink and also volunteered to water his ten thirsty camels. Unknown to her, this stranger had journeyed from Canaan to seek a wife for Isaac, son of Abraham. Upon agreement of all parties involved, Rebecca and Isaac were wed. They had two sons, Esau and Jacob; and Rebecca was informed through prophecy that Jacob would become dominant. She therefore engineered that Jacob, not Esau, would be the one to receive Isaac's chief blessing (Genesis ch.24-25 and ch.27).
