However, Greek terms related to music and worship, such as ψαλμός (psalmos, Strong's Greek 5568), may be considered in the broader context of biblical music.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "sheminith" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a musical term, often understood as "the eighth" or "an octave." It is associated with musical instructions, possibly indicating a specific musical scale, mode, or instrument tuning. The exact meaning is somewhat uncertain, but it is generally linked to the lower register or bass in musical compositions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in worship and religious ceremonies. The term "sheminith" is thought to refer to a musical setting or style used in the Psalms. The use of specific musical terms like "sheminith" suggests a sophisticated understanding of music and its integration into worship practices. The Levites, who were responsible for temple worship, would have been familiar with such terms and their practical applications in liturgical settings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/8066.htm">shemini</a>, q.v.<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>Sheminith <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/8066.htm">shmiyniy</a>;
