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; 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," i.e. singing birds (Ecclesiastes 12:4) refers to the power of making and enjoying music.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
