SIBI-P1 H1323-05
their daughter-builders
| Root | בנה (b-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to build, construct, establish, build up a household or lineage |
| Semantic Range | literal daughter, female descendant, member of a people group, inhabitants of a town ("daughters of Zion"), dependent communities |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, daughters contribute to the building and continuation of the family and covenant line. The term can extend metaphorically to towns or peoples, expressing relational and covenantal belonging within Israel’s communal identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine plural noun in construct form (בְּנוֹת) with 3mp pronominal suffix (־ם), yielding "their daughters." The construct form indicates possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּת (daughter) is traditionally understood as the feminine counterpart within the בן/בת pair, linked etymologically to the root בנה ("to build"), reflecting the idea of building a household. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), hence "their daughter-builders," preserving both the plural feminine sense and the possessive relationship. |
