야곱이 그에게 이르되 `내가 어떻게 외삼촌을 섬겼는지, 어떻게 외삼촌의 짐승을 쳤는지 외삼촌이 아시나이다
3931. 'And she took Zilpah her servant-girl' means an affirmative means through which [the external man and the internal] could be joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'a servant-girl' as an affirmative means that serves to join the external man to the internal, dealt with in 3913, 3917.
3917. 'And she gave him Bilhah her servant-girl as his wife' means that a link with the affirmative means was established. This is clear from the representation of 'Bilhah', and from the meaning of 'a servant-girl' as an affirmative means, dealt with just above in 3913; and from the meaning of 'giving as his wife' as establishing a link.
