Verse 2

And her father{H1} said{H559}{(H8799)}, I verily{H559}{(H8800)} thought{H559}{(H8804)} that thou hadst utterly{H8130}{(H8800)} hated{H8130}{(H8804)} her; therefore I gave{H5414}{(H8799)} her to thy companion{H4828}: is not her younger{H6996} sister{H269} fairer{H2896} than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
