Rachel was Jacob's wife (ha isn't that awesome!)
Basically Jacob loved Rachel but when he asked her dad if he could marry her, he tricked him into marrying her sister Leah. Then eventually he married Rachel as well and she was his favourite wife. God didn't like that so he punished Rachel by making her a BARON! Yeah, so on Leah could have babies but then one day Rachel had a baby called Joseph, the one in the rainbow coat...he was his favourite son :D
the end.
Jan...is...Janice...?

It's spelt "barren" and it's an adjective,not a noun. I know because it was in the Silence story.

How can she have babies if she's barren?

And who's Janice?

oh well soooooorry miss pedantic.

its a crazy god thing. he was like "no, i will not let you have babies," and then Jacob was sad so god was like "i feel sorry for you. here, have a baby."

it's a figure of speech, sarina. get over it.

"Not happy, Jan!" was the punchline (of sorts) for a famous Yellow Pages commercial back in 2002.
