If there is a thing too strong for man's laws, it is a woman's heart. Witness Antigone burying her brother. (A. Nevin, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. |
