Dear Rabbi
I think seven daughters refers to easy birth in Egypt. I cannot work out who the eight daughters in law are. Can you help? Is there a source?
Thank you for your help
Kind regards

Dear Peter,
The Aruch (Kaf 15) writes: These words are not to be explained. They are a passed tradition and this is the incantation. So are all incantations and amulets - we don't know their reason and what is their source.(In Egypt there were 6 births at once)
All the best,
