The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, were often responsible for leading musical worship in the temple. Instruments such as the harp, lyre, and cymbals were commonly used in conjunction with singing to enhance the worship experience. Music was seen as a powerful means of expressing devotion, gratitude, and reverence to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2170.htm">zemar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>singer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>singers (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">זַמָּר</font> K<sup>§ 59 d</sup>)] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>singer</b></font>; — plural emphatic <font class="hebrew2">זַמָּרַיָא</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-24.htm">Ezra 7:24</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>singer <p>(Aramaic) from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2170.htm">zmar</a>; an instrumental musician -- singer. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2170.htm">zmar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>זַמָּ֨רַיָּ֤א זמריא zam·mā·ray·yā zamMaraiYa zammārayyā<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/ezra/7-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 7:24</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">כָּהֲנַיָּ֣א וְ֠לֵוָיֵא <b> זַמָּ֨רַיָּ֤א </b> תָרָֽעַיָּא֙ נְתִ֣ינַיָּ֔א</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Levites, <span class="itali">singers,</span> doorkeepers,<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and Levites, <span class="itali">singers,</span> porters,<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-24.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of the priests Levites <span class="itali">singers</span> doorkeepers Nethinim<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2171.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2171.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2171<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/zammaraiya_2171.htm">zam·mā·ray·yā — 1 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/2170.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2170"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2170" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2172.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2172"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2172" /></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>
