¹⁵ If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated;

³³ And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this `son' also. And she called his name Simeon.

⁴ And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

⁵ but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb.

¹⁸ And Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

²⁰ And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

³⁰ And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³¹ And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb. But Rachel was barren.
