Genesis 29:21 - Exposition

And Jacob said unto Laban (who, though the term of servitude had expired, appeared to be in no haste to implement his part of the bargain), Give me my wife (i.e. my affianced wife, as in Deuteronomy 22:23 , Deuteronomy 22:24 ; Matthew 1:20 ), for my days are fulfilled ( i . e . my term of service is completed), that I may go in unto her — quo significant intactam adhuc esse virginem (Calvin); a proof that Jacob's love was pure and true.
