And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.

And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they seemed [only] a few days, because of the love that he had for her.

And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Leah; and he served him seven other years.

And when the Lord God saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, He has given to me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

And the day came, and Elkanah sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Peninnah and her children.

And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Elkanah loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord had closed her womb.
