Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el {אֶל־ | ʾel} marks adversative direction toward the target.
The noun phrase benot ammekha {בְּנ֣וֹת עַמְּךָ֔ | bə-nōṯ ʿam-me-kā} ‘the daughters of your people’ is modified by the relative participle hamitnabbe'ot {הַמִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וֹת | ham-mit-nab-bə-ʾōṯ} ‘who prophesy’, indicating an ongoing self-initiated activity.
