This is clear from the meaning of 'the servant-girls' as the affections for knowledge and for cognitions, dealt with in 1895, 2567, 3835, 3849, and as subservient means employed in the joining together of the external man and the internal, dealt with in 3913, 3917; and from the representation of Zilpah and Bilhah, to whom 'the servant-girls' refers here, as subservient exterior affections that are employed as means, dealt with in 3849, 3931.
