Genesis 35:19 - And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
Genesis 48:7 - And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
See if you can figure out the prophetic significance of Rachel dying in Bethlehem. Hint 1.--read Micah 5:2. Hint 2. Moses had to bring the law the second time. Hint 3. The meaning of Deuteronomy--that God would confirm His law. Hint 4. The wives of covenant heirs prophetically mirror religious expressions out of Abraham's loins. Hint 5. Jeremiah 31:31 speak about a new Covenant. Hint 6. Isaiah 1:13 - Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Hint 7. Psalm 2.

She died in childbirth, with Benjamin.
Genesis 35:16 ¶And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

You can look up any word in the Bible through Biblegateway.com and it will show you all the scripture where the word, i.e., Rachel is located. It is a great tool for study.

Because her head got so big and she demanded 1 million dollars per episode, then she married Brad Pitt, and then started her crappy movie career.
