The Old Testament writers were very reluctant to write about a woman’s beauty.

We can assume that Eve set the pattern.

It can be inferred that Sarah was outstanding by the precautions Abraham wanted to take.

However, the original Hebrew says explicitly that Rachel was “beautiful in face and form.”

Rachel in Hebrew means “sheep” and Leah means “wild cow”.
Looks like her family had a sense of humor.
