Meeting of minds
The same understanding and mutual assent of an agreement between two or more parties.
A meeting of minds occurs even if one party subjectively did not agree, as long as both partiesβ outward expressions manifested assent.
Genesis 29:15-20
- And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?
- And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
- Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
- And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
- And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
- And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
Romans 1:10-12
- Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
- For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
- That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
