The Pesikta de-Rav Kahana taught that Rebekah was one of seven barren women about whom says (speaking of God), "He . . . makes the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children." The Pesikta de-Rav Kahana also listed Sarah, Rachel, Leah, Manoah's wife, Hannah, and Zion. The Pesikta de-Rav Kahana taught that the words of "He . . . makes the barren woman to dwell in her house," apply to Rebekah, for reports that "Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren." And the words of "a joyful mother of children," apply to Rebekah, as well, for also reports that "the Lord let Himself be entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived."
