It is associated with a particular style or pitch of music, possibly indicating a higher register suitable for female voices. The term is also linked to the concept of youth and purity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, young women, or maidens, held a significant role in both family and religious settings. They were often involved in musical performances, particularly in temple worship and celebrations. The use of "alamoth" in musical contexts suggests a tradition of female choirs or singers contributing to the worship practices of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>pl. of <a href="/hebrew/5959.htm">almah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(soprano voices of) young women<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>alamoth (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Alamoth <p>Plural of <a href="/hebrew/5959.htm">almah</a>; properly, girls, i.e. The soprano or female voice, perhaps falsetto -- Alamoth. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5959.htm">almah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עֲלָמ֥וֹת עֲלָמֽוֹת׃ עלמות עלמות׃ ‘ă·lā·mō·wṯ ‘ălāmōwṯ alaMot<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/15-20.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 15:20</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/15.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בִּנְבָלִ֖ים עַל־ <b> עֲלָמֽוֹת׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/15.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> with harps <span class="itali">[tuned] to alamoth;</span><br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/15.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> with psalteries <span class="itali">on Alamoth;</span><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/15-20.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> harps to <span class="itali">alamoth</span><p><b><a href="/text/psalms/46-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 46:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/46.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">קֹ֑רַח עַֽל־ <b> עֲלָמ֥וֹת </b> שִֽׁיר׃ אֱלֹהִ֣ים</span><br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/46.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of Korah, A Song <span class="itali">upon Alamoth.>></span><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/46-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of Korah upon <span class="itali">Alamoth</span> A Song God<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5961.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5961.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5961<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/alamot_5961.htm">‘ă·lā·mō·wṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5960.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5960"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5960" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5962.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5962"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5962" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
