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

So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they were only a day in his eyes because of the love he had for her.

And Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.

When Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, He has therefore given me this one also. And she called his name Simeon.

And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although Jehovah had closed up her womb.
