3830. 'For my days are completed, so that I may go [in] to her' means that that state has now been reached. This is clear from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785 - 'days having been completed, so that I may go [in] to her' meaning, as is evident without explanation, that that state had now been reached.
