They consist of two concave brass plates that are clashed together to produce a loud, resonant sound. Cymbals are often associated with joy, festivity, and the expression of praise to God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Temple Worship:</b> Cymbals were an integral part of the musical worship in the Temple. King David, known for his musical talents and organization of worship, appointed Levites to play cymbals as part of the temple service. In <a href="/1_chronicles/15-16.htm">1 Chronicles 15:16</a>, it is recorded, "David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals."<br><br>2. <b>Dedication of the Temple:</b> During the dedication of Solomon's Temple, cymbals were used to enhance the grandeur of the occasion. <a href="/2_chronicles/5-13.htm">2 Chronicles 5:13</a> states, "The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: 'For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.'"<br><br>3. <b>Return from Exile:</b> After the Babylonian exile, when the Israelites returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the temple, cymbals were again used in worship. <a href="/ezra/3-10.htm">Ezra 3:10</a> describes the scene: "When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as prescribed by David king of Israel."<br><br>4. <b>Psalms of Praise:</b> The Book of Psalms frequently mentions cymbals as instruments of praise. <a href="/psalms/150-5.htm">Psalm 150:5</a> exhorts, "Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals." This highlights the role of cymbals in expressing exuberant worship and adoration of God.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Significance:</b><br><br>Cymbals in the Bible symbolize the loud and joyful expression of worship. Their sound is associated with the proclamation of God's glory and the celebration of His mighty works. The use of cymbals in worship underscores the importance of music in the spiritual life of Israel, serving as a means to unite the congregation in praise and to enhance the communal worship experience.<br><br><b>Cultural Context:</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, cymbals were commonly used in religious and secular festivities. Their presence in biblical worship reflects the broader cultural practice of using music to celebrate and honor deities. However, in the biblical context, cymbals are dedicated to the worship of the one true God, Yahweh, and are used to lead the people in collective expressions of faith and devotion.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Cymbals, as described in the Bible, are more than mere musical instruments; they are tools for worship that help convey the joy and reverence of God's people. Their use in biblical times serves as a reminder of the importance of music in worship and the powerful role it plays in expressing the heart's devotion to God.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(Hebrews tzeltzelim, from a root meaning to "tinkle"), musical instruments, consisting of two convex pieces of brass one held in each hand, which were clashed together to produce a loud clanging sound; castanets; "loud cymbals."
