Exegesis
The feminine plural noun banot {בָּנוֹת | bā-nôṯ} ‘daughters’ is used metaphorically for branches or offshoots, and its grammatical gender controls the feminine singular verb tsaadah {צָעֲדָה | ṣā-ʿă-ḏāh} ‘she stepped / marched’, personifying the branches as actively advancing.
Root and etymology

In context — Genesis 49:22
