¹⁵ If a man has two wives, one greatly loved and the other hated, and the two of them have had children by him; and if the first son is the child of the hated wife:

³³ Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

⁴ And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

⁵ But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.

¹⁸ And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.

²⁰ And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

³⁰ Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.

³¹ Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.
