What was the relationship between Rebekah and Jesus?

Rebekah was the mother of Jacob, and Jacob is an ancestor of Jesus. Genesis 25:26; Matthew 1:2

Matthew’s genealogy does not name Rebekah. That she is an ancestor of Jesus is inferred from two verses.

What the Bible says

Matthew 1:2

Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren.
