In the biblical context, the term "daughter" holds significant familial, cultural, and spiritual connotations. It is used to describe biological relationships, metaphorical connections, and spiritual affiliations within the narrative of Scripture.

Biological and Familial Context:

The term "daughter" is frequently used in the Bible to denote a female offspring. Daughters are often mentioned in genealogies and narratives, highlighting their roles within families and communities. For example, Genesis 5:4 notes, "And the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters." This indicates the presence and importance of daughters in the lineage of humanity.

Daughters in biblical times were often under the authority of their fathers until marriage, as seen in various laws and customs. For instance, Numbers 30:3-5 discusses the vows made by daughters and the father's authority to uphold or nullify them.

Cultural and Social Context:

Daughters also played significant roles in the social and cultural fabric of ancient Israel. They were often involved in household duties and could be pivotal in forming alliances through marriage. The account of Leah and Rachel, daughters of Laban, illustrates how daughters were integral to family dynamics and God's unfolding plan (Genesis 29).

In some narratives, daughters are central figures, such as in the account of Jephthah's daughter in Judges 11:34-40, where her fate is a poignant reminder of the consequences of vows and the value of women in Israelite society.

Metaphorical and Spiritual Context:

The term "daughter" is also used metaphorically to describe cities, nations, or groups of people. For example, "Daughter Zion" or "Daughter Jerusalem" is a poetic personification of the city of Jerusalem, as seen in Zechariah 9:9: "Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."

In the New Testament, the term "daughter" is used in spiritual contexts, emphasizing faith and healing. In Mark 5:34, Jesus addresses a woman healed of her affliction, saying, "Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace and be free of your affliction." This highlights the personal and compassionate relationship between Jesus and those who believe in Him.

Role in Redemption History:

Daughters are part of the broader narrative of redemption in Scripture. They are often depicted as recipients of God's promises and participants in His covenant. The daughters of Zelophehad, for instance, successfully petitioned for their inheritance rights, setting a precedent for justice and equality within the Israelite community (Numbers 27:1-11).

In prophetic literature, daughters are sometimes depicted as symbols of hope and restoration. Joel 2:28 prophesies, "And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." This indicates the inclusive nature of God's redemptive plan, encompassing both sons and daughters.

Conclusion:

The concept of "daughter" in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing biological, cultural, metaphorical, and spiritual dimensions. Daughters are portrayed as integral members of families and communities, participants in God's covenant, and symbols of hope and restoration in the prophetic vision. Through these various roles, the Bible affirms the value and significance of daughters in the unfolding account of God's people.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

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.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

This word, besides its natural and proper sense, is used to designate,

(1.) A niece or any female descendant (Genesis 20:12; 24:48; 28:6).

(2.) Women as natives of a place, or as professing the religion of a place; as, "the daughters of Zion" (Isaiah 3:16), "daughters of the Philistines" (2 Samuel 1:20).

(3.) Small towns and villages lying around a city are its "daughters," as related to the metropolis or mother city. Tyre is in this sense called the daughter of Sidon (Isaiah 23:12).

(4.) The people of Jerusalem are spoken of as "the daughters of Zion" (Isaiah 37:22).

(5.) The daughters of a tree are its boughs (Genesis 49:22).

(6.) The "daughters of music" (Ecclesiastes 12:4) are singing women.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) The female offspring of the human species; a female child of any age; -- applied also to the lower animals.

2. (n.) A female descendant; a woman.

3. (n.) A son's wife; a daughter-in-law.

4. (n.) A term of address indicating parental interest.

DAUGHTER

do'-ter (bath; thugater): Used in Scriptures in several more or less distinct senses:

(a) for daughter in the ordinary, literal sense (Genesis 46:25 Exodus 1:16);

(b) daughter-in-law (Ruth 2:2);

(c) grand-daughter or other female descendant (Exodus 21 Luke 1:5; Luke 13:16);

(d) the women of a country, or of a place, taken collectively (Luke 23:28), of a particular religion (Malachi 2:11);

(e) all the population of a place, taken collectively, especially in Prophets and poetic books (Psalm 9:14 Isaiah 23:10 Jeremiah 46:24 Matthew 21:5);

(f) used in familiar address, "Daughter, be of good comfort" (Matthew 9:22 the King James Version; Mark 5:34 Luke 8:48);

(g) women in general (Proverbs 31:29);

(h) the personification of towns or cities, as of the female sex (Isaiah 47:1 Ezekiel 16:44, 46; compare Nahum 3:4, 7), especially of dependent towns and villages (Psalm 48:11 Numbers 21:25 margin; Judges 1:27 margin);

(i) in Hebrew idiom for person or thing belonging to or having the characteristics of that with which it is joined, as "daughter of ninety years," of Sarah, ninety years old (Genesis 17:17); "daughters of music," singing birds, or singing women (Ecclesiastes 12:4); daughters of a tree, i. e. branches; daughter of the eye, i. e. the pupil.

Daughters were not so highly prized as sons, not being usually mentioned by name. A father might sometimes sell his daughter as bondwoman (Exodus 21:7); though not to a foreigner (Exodus 21:8); daughters might sometimes inherit as did sons, but could not take the inheritance outside of the tribe (Numbers 36:1-12).

PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER

(bath-par`oh): The princess who rescued Moses (Exodus 2:5-10 Hebrews 11:24). This is probably a title as well as an appellation, indicating not only one of the daughters of a Pharaoh, but also some very distinguished rank, thought to be most probably that of the heir to the throne by birth; though she was debarred from reigning by reason of sex, she still possessed the right to entail the scepter and crown to her oldest son. Positive identification of the "Pharaoh's daughter" mentioned in the Bible is not possible yet. All attempts toward identification are, of course, guided by the particular theory of the oppressor accepted. If the Pharaoh of the Oppression was Rameses II, as is most likely, then Pharaoh's daughter was probably the daughter of Seti I, an older sister of Rameses II. If, as many think, the Pharaoh of the Oppression was Thothmes III, then Pharaoh's daughter was some unknown princess. Some have thought she was Hatshepsut, the "Queen Elizabeth of Egypt."
