And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. The compliance is the covenant person receiving what was promised under the terms offered, even though the terms were manipulated. Jacob does so — he finishes the week, he waits for Rachel, he accepts the fourteen-year arrangement. The application: the willingness to keep commitment even when the terms have been changed against you is the integrity that the deceived person has that the deceiver does not.
