If I were to say something like "And the daughters of
Isreal shall be blessed from generation to generation",
what would you understand?
There's a difference between referring to a nation/tribe as "the sons
of...", which is very common in the Semitic world to this day, and using
"sons/daughters" to reffer to individuals who are not just s/d's, but also
grand-s/d's and s/d's-in-law. Beasides, as both Shoshanna and I have
requested, cite a concrete example!
