Psalm 144:12 asks that the Lord make “our daughters as corner pillars cut after the pattern of a palace.” “Pattern” is TABNIT, the noun used to describe the pattern that Moses sees on the mountain and later guides the building of the tabernacle. “Palace” is HEYKAL, the word used for the temple.
While sons are to grow as plants (v. 12a), daughters will be made according to the pattern of a temple/palace, a dwelling place.
