Daughter. The word is used, in Scripture, not only for daughter, but for granddaughter or other female descendant. Genesis 24:48. It is used of the female inhabitants of a place or country, Genesis 6:2; Luke 23:28, and of cities in general, Isaiah 10:32; Isaiah 23:12, but more specifically, of dependent towns or hamlets, while to the principal city, the correlative "mother" is applied. Numbers 21:25. "Daughters of music," that is, singing birds, Ecclesiastes 12:4, refers to the power of making and enjoying music.
