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.
