כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל בְּרָמָ֤ה נִשְׁמָע֙ נְהִי֙ בְּכִ֣י תַמְרוּרִ֔ים רָחֵ֖ל מְבַכָּ֣ה עַל־בָּנֶ֑יהָ מֵאֲנָ֛ה לְהִנָּחֵ֥ם עַל־בָּנֶ֖יהָ כִּ֥י אֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ (ס)
So spricht der Herr: In Rama ist eine Stimme zu hören: Wehklage und bitteres Weinen, Rachel weint um ihre Kinder; Sie weigert sich, für ihre Kinder getröstet zu werden, weil sie es nicht sind.
Zohar
When she first appears to Moses (Zohar I:113b), she is called "Angel" (Exodus 3). She did not appear to Jacob as such, except within the figure of Rachel, as it is written, "and Rachel was coming" (Genesis 29:9). This is the form of another (supernal) Rachel, as it is written, "Thus said the Lord, a cry is heard in Ramah...Rachel weeping for her children" (Jeremiah 31:15). "And Rachel was coming"--,"with her flock"--her echelons. "Of her Father"--certainly! And all are counted and accounted for in her hand. "For she was a shepherdess," she leads them, and is accountable for them.
