Deborah

Deborah is mentioned briefly inGenesis 35:8as the nurse of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac. The context of this passage is Jacob's return to Bethel, where he had previously encountered God in a dream (Genesis 28:10-22). As Israel (or 'Jacob') and his household journeyed to Bethel, Deborah died and was buried under an oak tree below Bethel. The oak tree was then called Allon-bacuth, which means "Oak of Weeping," indicating the mourning that took place at her burial site. The mention of Deborah's death and burial at this point in the narrative suggests that she had been with Jacob's family for a long time, likely since Rebekah's marriage to Isaac.
