NET Notes: Gen 29:21

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).
