Genesis 29:21

Context

29:21 Finally Jacob said 1  to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. 2  I want to have marital relations with her.” 3 

1 tn Heb “and Jacob said.”

2 tn Heb “my days are fulfilled.”

3 tn Heb “and I will go in to her.” The verb is a cohortative; it may be subordinated to the preceding request, “that I may go in,” or it may be an independent clause expressing his desire. The verb “go in” in this context refers to sexual intercourse (i.e., the consummation of the marriage).
