1 Samuel 1:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ On the day when Elka′nah sacrificed, he would give portions to Penin′nah his wife and to all her sons and daughters; ⁵ and, although^[a] he loved Hannah, he would give Hannah only one portion, because the Lord had closed her womb. ⁶ And her rival used to provoke her sorely, to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb.
