‘And Laban gave Bilhah his handmaid to his daughter Rachel to be her handmaid.'
Once again Laban provides a handmaid for his daughter from his household, and another person is added to Jacob's group. Again the suggestion is that that is all that she receives. Laban is hard-nosed. This prince has come among them bringing nothing, he will therefore receive nothing, apart from the privileged membership of the tribe due to his ancestry.
