our daughter
Female offspring; a daughter, a female descendant. More broadly, a female member of a family, community, or group; can be used collectively for women of a city or nation. Figuratively, it denotes dependency, belonging, or characteristic association (e.g., 'daughters of Zion' = women, inhabitants, or symbolic representations of Zion). Employed for city populations ('daughter of cities'), subordinate towns, or associated groups. It frequently appears in anthropomorphic metaphors, especially for personified cities or nations. In some figurative uses, the term can refer to a dependent, offshoot, or subordinate entity (e.g., a village as a 'daughter' of a larger city). Occasionally used in idioms or set phrases, such as 'daughter of the eye' for 'pupil of the eye.'

our daughter
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular construct + 1st person common plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּת denotes a female offspring—one ‘built’ from the household—derived from the root בנה. The feminine singular construct form with a 1st person common plural suffix yields ‘our daughter,’ preserving both gender and possessive morphology. |
