'Loved' in the Bible

Then Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah's tent. He took her as his wife and loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother. She prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.

Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was a son born to him late in life, and he made a special tunic for him.

When Joseph's brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.
