Usage: The Greek word "θυγάτηρ" (thugatér) is used in the New Testament to denote a female offspring, a daughter. It can refer to a biological daughter, a female descendant, or metaphorically to women in a broader sense, such as "daughters of Jerusalem." Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman world, daughters were often seen as integral members of the family unit, though their roles and rights were typically more limited compared to sons. Daughters were expected to marry and bear children, contributing to the family lineage and social standing. The term "daughter" could also be used to express endearment or affiliation, as seen in phrases like "daughter of Zion," which personifies the city of Jerusalem.
