Explanation preview
This verse closes the list of Jacob's twelve sons, naming Gad and Asher as the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. In the culture of the patriarchs, a wife could give her servant to her husband, and the children counted as hers, so Zilpah's sons belong fully to Jacob's household.
