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; Isaiah 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," that is, singing birds, Ecclesiastes 12:4, refers to the power of making and enjoying music.
