The discussion about the phrase “Daughter of Zion” has not come to rest. The present book is a study of this and similar phrases from a linguistic point of view. Genitive as a category in Semitic grammar is treated in a separate chapter, and metaphor and irony are brought into the discussion. The author proposes new understandings and translations of the phrases, and suggests that modern Hebrew grammars should avoid the phrase “genitive”.
