It can also refer to a musical or murmuring sound, often associated with solemnity or contemplation. The word suggests a deep, reflective process, whether in thought or through music, that engages the heart and mind in a profound way.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, meditation was a significant spiritual practice. It involved not only silent reflection but also vocal expressions, such as murmuring or chanting, which were believed to aid in internalizing and understanding God's laws and teachings. Music played a vital role in worship and was often used to enhance the meditative experience, creating an atmosphere conducive to spiritual reflection and connection with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1897.htm">hagah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>resounding music, meditation, musing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Higgaion (1), meditation (1), resounding music (1), whispering (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">הִגָּיוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>resounding music, meditation, musing</b></font>;
