to a daughter

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsto build, to establish, to construct, to cause to continue
Semantic Rangedaughter (literal child), female descendant, member of a people ("daughter of Zion"), town or village dependent on a larger city, branch or offshoot, metaphorical extension (e.g., "apple of the eye").
Conceptual Significance"Daughter" expresses lineage, covenant continuity, and communal identity in Israel’s worldview. It can personify cities or peoples (e.g., "daughter of Zion"), emphasizing relational belonging and the idea of being "built" into a household or covenant community.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a feminine singular noun (בַּת). Occurs in both absolute (Ncfsa) and construct (Ncfsc) forms; no pronominal suffix. Feminine singular throughout.
Rendering RationaleThe noun בַּת (daughter) derives from the root בנה, "to build," reflecting the idea of one who is built up from a household line. The form לְבַת includes the preposition לְ ("to/for") attached to a feminine singular noun, here rendered "to a daughter," preserving its feminine singular form; in construct contexts it may mean "to the daughter of."
