And it came to pass upon a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, that he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;

וּלְחַנָּה יִתֵּן מָנָה אַחַת אַפָּיִם כִּי אֶת־חַנָּה אָהֵב וַֽיהוָה סָגַר רַחְמָֽהּ
but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
Verse 6ו׳Standard2,697
וְכִֽעֲסַתָּה צָֽרָתָהּ גַּם־כַּעַס בַּעֲבוּר הַרְּעִמָהּ כִּֽי־סָגַר יְהוָה בְּעַד רַחְמָֽהּ
