building-daughters of

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsto build, construct, establish, make firm, build up a household
Semantic RangeLiteral daughters; female descendants; women of a city ("daughters of Zion"); dependent towns or villages; metaphorical extensions such as branches or offshoot communities.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a "daughter" is one who builds and extends the household, clan, or city. The term can signify covenant lineage, communal identity (e.g., "daughter of Zion"), and the generational expansion of Israel as a built and established people.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine plural noun in construct state (HNcfpc) from בַּת; construct form indicates possession or relationship ("daughters of..."). Feminine plural is explicitly marked by the -וֹת ending.
Rendering Rationaleבְּנוֹת is the feminine plural construct form of בַּת (daughter), derived from the root בנה (to build). The rendering "building-daughters of" preserves both the feminine plural construct form ("daughters of") and the root idea of building, reflecting the ancient concept of daughters as those who build up a household.
