It is used in the context of singing praises to God, highlighting the importance of music in worship and spiritual expression. The term emphasizes the act of making music as a form of devotion and celebration of God's greatness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in both religious and social settings. The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, were often responsible for leading music in the temple. Instruments such as the harp, lyre, and cymbals were commonly used in worship. Music was not only a form of artistic expression but also a means of teaching, remembering, and celebrating God's deeds and laws.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/2167.htm">zamar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>music<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>music (4).<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>musick <p>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/2167.htm">zamar</a>;
