Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Daughter used also for granddaughter, or female descendant (Gen_31:43; Gen_27:46). "Daughter of Zion," "daughter of Jerusalem" (Isa_37:22); i.e., Zion or Jerusalem and her inhabitants, personified poetically as an abstract collective feminine. Hengstenberg takes "daughter of Zion" or Zion, "daughter of Jerusalem" or Jerasalem (compare Psa_9:14). "Daughters of music," (Ecc_12:4): songs and instrumental performances sound low to the old (2Sa_19:35); otherwise the voice and ear, the organs which produce and enjoy music. Analogy favors the former view. As the principal city is termed "mother," so its dependent villages are called "daughter towns" (Jos_15:45, Hebrew).

Daughter. The word is used, in Scripture, not only for daughter, but for granddaughter or other female descendant. Gen_24:48. It is used of the female inhabitants of a place or country, Gen_6:2; Luk_23:28, and of cities in general, Isa_10:32; Isa_23:12, but more specifically, of dependent towns or hamlets, while to the principal city, the correlative "mother" is applied. Num_21:25. "Daughters of music," that is, singing birds, Ecc_12:4, refers to the power of making and enjoying music.

dô?tẽr (בּת, bath; θυγάτηρ, thugátēr): Used in Scriptures in several more or less distinct senses: (a) for daughter in the ordinary, literal sense (Gen_46:25; Exo_1:16); (b) daughter-in-law (Rth_2:2); (c) grand-daughter or other female descendant (Ex 21; Luk_1:5; Luk_13:16); (d) The women of a country, or of a place, taken collectively (Luk_23:28), of a particular religion (Mal_2:11); (e) all the population of a place, taken collectively, especially in Prophets and poetic books (Psa_9:14; Isa_23:10; Jer_46:24; Mat_21:5); (f) used in familiar address, ?Daughter, be of good comfort? (Mat_9:22 the King James Version; Mar_5:34; Luk_8:48); (g) women in general (Pro_31:29); (h) The personification of towns or cities, as of the female sex (Isa_47:1; Eze_16:44, Eze_16:46; compare Nah_3:4, Nah_3:7), especially of dependent towns and villages (Psa_48:11; Num_21:25 margin; Jdg_1:27 margin); (i) in Hebrew idiom for person or thing belonging to or having the characteristics of that with which it is joined, as ?daughter of ninety years,? of Sarah, ninety years old (Gen_17:17); ?daughters of music,? singing birds, or singing women (Ecc_12:4); daughters of a tree, i.e. branches; daughter of the eye, i.e. the pupil.
Daughters were not so highly prized as sons, not being usually mentioned by name. A father might sometimes sell his daughter as bondwoman (Exo_21:7); though not to a foreigner (Exo_21:8); daughters might sometimes inherit as did sons, but could not take the inheritance outside of the tribe (Num_36:1-12).

In the Scriptures the word daughter is used in a variety of senses, some of which are unknown to our own language, or have only become known through familiarity with Scriptural forms of speech. Besides its usual and proper sense of?
A daughter sent or adopted, we find it used to designate.
A uterine sister, niece, or any female descendant (Gen_20:12; Gen_24:48; Gen_28:6; Gen_36:2; Num_25:1; Deu_23:17).
Women, as natives, residents, or professing the religion of certain places, as 'the daughter of Zion' (Isa_3:16); 'daughters of the Philistines' (2Sa_1:20); 'daughter of a strange God' (Mal_2:11).
Metaphorically, small towns are called daughters of neighboring large cities, to which they belonged, or from which they were derived, as 'Heshbon and all the daughters [Auth. Vers. villages] thereof' (Num_21:25); so Tyre is called the daughter of Sidon (Isa_23:12), as having been originally a colony from thence; and hence also the town of Abel is called 'a mother in Israel' (2Sa_20:19); and Gath is in one place (comp. 2Sa_8:1; 1Ch_18:1) called Gath-Ammah, or Gath the mother town, to distinguish it from its own dependencies, or from another place called Gath. See other instances in Num_21:32; Jdg_11:26; Jos_15:45, etc.
The people collectively of any place, the name of which is given; as 'the daughter (i.e. the people) of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee' (Isa_37:22; see also Psa_45:13; Psa_137:8; Isa_10:30; Jer_46:19; Lam_4:22; Zec_9:9).

Isa_10:32 (b) This term is used to represent the Jewish people, particularly those of Jerusalem. The word is also used to describe the descendants or the adherents of other nations. (See also Jdg_11:40; Psa_48:11; Eze_16:57, etc).

2Co_6:18 (b) This term is applied to those women who are GOD's children who live and work as their Father desires them to do. They are not only related to the Father because of salvation, but they resemble their Father in their life of separation.

1Pe_3:6 (b) This name is given to the descendants of Abraham who enjoyed the faith of Abraham, and practiced it. (See also Luk_13:16).

Daughter
(בִּת, bath, for בֶּנֶת, fem. of בֵּן, son; θυγατήρ), a word used in Scripture in a variety of senses, some of which are unknown to our own language, or have only become known through familiarity with scriptural forms of speech. SEE BEN-. Besides its usual and proper sense of
(1.) a daughter, born or adopted, we find it used to designate
(2.) a Uterine sister, niece, or any female descendant (Gen_20:12; Gen_24:48; Gen_28:6; Gen_36:2; Num_25:1; Deu_23:17).
(3.) Women, as natives, residents, or professing the religion of certain places, as “the daughter of Zion” (Isa_3:16); “daughters of the Philistines” (2Sa_1:20); “daughter of a strange god” (Mal_2:11); daughters of men,” i.e. carnal women (Gen_6:2), etc.
(4.) Metaphorically small towns are called daughters of neighboring large cities — metropoles, or mother cities — to which they belonged or from which they were derived, as “Heshbon and all the daughters [Auth. Vers. villages] thereof” (Num_21:25); so Tyre is called the daughter of Sidon (Isa_22:12), as having been originally a colony from thence; and hence also the town of Abel is called “a mother in Israel” (2Sa_20:19); and Gath is in one place (comp. 2Sa_7:1; 1Ch_18:1) called Gath- Ammah, or Gath the mother town, metropolis, to distinguish it from its own dependencies, or from another place called Gath. SEE VILLAGE. Comp. other instances in Num_21:32; Jdg_11:26; Jos_15:45, etc.
(5.) The people collectively of any place, the name of which is given, as “the daughter (i.e. the people) of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee” (Isa_37:22; see also Psa_45:13; Psa_137:8; Isa_10:30; Jer_46:19; Lam_4:22; Zec_9:9). This metaphor is illustrated by the almost universal custom of representing towns under the figure of a woman.
(6.) The word “daughter,” followed by a numeral, indicates a woman of the age indicated by the numeral, as when Sarah (in the original) is called “the daughter of ninety years” (Gen_17:17).
(7.) The word “daughter” is also applied to the produce of animals, trees, or plants. Thus, “daughter of the she-ostrich,” (supposed) for “female ostrich” (Lev_11:16); Joseph is called “a fruitful bough whose daughters (branches) run over the wall” (Gen_49:22). See further in Gesenius and Furst, s.v. בת.
The condition of daughters, that is, of young women, in the East, their employments, duties, etc., may be gathered from various parts of Scripture, and seems to have borne but little resemblance to that of young women of respectable parentage among ourselves. Rebekah drew and fetched water; Rachel kept sheep, as did the daughters of Jethro, though he was a priest, or a prince, of Midian. They superintended and performed domestic services for the family; Tamar, though a king's daughter, baked bread; and the same of others. We have the same occupations for the daughters of princes in the ancient poets, of which Homer is an unquestionable evidence. SEE CHILD; SEE EDUCATION; SEE WOMAN; SEE MARRIAGE. The original terms rendered “daughter-in-law” are in the Hebrews כִּלָּהkallah'; Sept. and New Test. νύμφη, both literally meaning a bride (as elsewhere rendered), and applied to a son's wife.
