“These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.”
These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah — sixteen in all. The sixteen of Zilpah's line completes the servant-wife's contribution. The application: the servant's children are fully counted in the covenant family's census.
