Commentary on Exodus 1:4

Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher—The sons of the handmaids (Bilhah and Zilpah) complete the twelve. Though born of secondary status, these tribes receive equal inheritance in God's covenant economy. Dan (דָּן, "judge") would provide judges for Israel (Judges 13-16). Naphtali (נַפְתָּלִי, "my wrestling") recalls Rachel's struggle. Gad (גָּד, "fortune") and Asher (אָשֵׁר, "happy") represent blessing despite difficult origins. This inclusivity demonstrates that God's covenant extends beyond natural privilege to all He sovereignly chooses.
