4435. 'And he loved the young woman and spoke comfortingly to her' means love. This is clear without explanation.
Malachi 2:14-15
14
Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
15
