“These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.”
These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel — seven in all. The seven of Bilhah's line completes the servant-wife's contribution. The application: the servant's children are counted and named with the same care as the primary wives' children.
