וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיִּזְבַּח אֶלְקָנָה וְנָתַן לִפְנִנָּה אִשְׁתּוֹ וּֽלְכָל־בָּנֶיהָ וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ מָנֽוֹת
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.
וְכִֽעֲסַתָּה צָֽרָתָהּ גַּם־כַּעַס בַּעֲבוּר הַרְּעִמָהּ כִּֽי־סָגַר יְהוָה בְּעַד רַחְמָֽהּ
And her rival vexed her sore, to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
וְכֵן יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה מִדֵּי עֲלֹתָהּ בְּבֵית יְהוָה כֵּן תַּכְעִסֶנָּה וַתִּבְכֶּה וְלֹא תֹאכַֽל
And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she vexed her; therefore she wept, and would not eat.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ אֶלְקָנָה אִישָׁהּ חַנָּה לָמֶה תִבְכִּי וְלָמֶה לֹא תֹֽאכְלִי וְלָמֶה יֵרַע לְבָבֵךְ הֲלוֹא אָֽנֹכִי טוֹב לָךְ מֵעֲשָׂרָה בָּנִֽים
And Elkanah her husband said unto her: ‘Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?’
